Long Island Sound Tide Clock, 16.50" Diameter
Away from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple sits Long Island Sound, one of nature’s most beautiful estuaries. Tourists and locals alike are drawn to the area for its incredible seafood and shellfish and escape the big city living for a while. Whether you’re a longtime resident or looking for the perfect family vacation spot, Long Island Sound is everything you want and more.
Long Island Sound is a tidal estuary that sits between Connecticut and Long Island, and its tidal marshes are some of the bests in the world, producing between three and seven tons of salt marsh grasses each year. The Sound is home to incredible finish and shellfish, one of the most popular aspects of the area.
Each 3D wood map begins with a bathymetric chart. An artist uses the chart’s measurements to laser cut the exact shoreline on pieces of high-quality birch. The birch is glued together and hand-stained to accent the natural beauty of the nautical map, and then points of interest and landmarks are etched into the wood’s surface. Each 3D wood map is finished with a custom-sized solid wood frame and acrylic layer, creating a piece that you will love for years to come.
What is a tide clock and how does it work? Fun facts: The lunar day is 24 hours and 50 minutes long & the moon is the biggest influence of the tides! Since there are two high tides each lunar day, our tide clocks rotate every 12 hours 25 minutes. Quartz tide clocks are perfect for the more predictable tides of the Eastern United States. You can always set your tide clock by either a quick internet search for high tide in your area for the next high tide, or set it monthly at the full or new moon
