Outdated charts cost more than the chart.
A missed new edition. An expired ENC permit. A port state control inspector who wants to see your folio. Any one of them can mean a failed inspection, a detention, or worse. You shouldn't have to be a chart expert to keep your fleet sailing — that's what we're here for.
A century on the bridge.
For more than a century, Baker, Lyman & Co. has outfitted mariners from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes — and around the world. Lloyd J. Titus took the helm in 1986 and methodically transformed Baker, Lyman from a traditional NOAA and Admiralty Chart Agency into a dynamic, multifaceted international marine provider. His daughter Corinne carried the torch before passing the company forward.
In 2021, the circle was completed when Erik Zibilich — who began his career at Baker, Lyman as a sales and inventory clerk over 40 years ago — acquired the company. With decades leading McCurnin Nautical, Horizon Nautical, New York Nautical, and international offices in Piraeus and London, Erik brings unmatched depth in the nautical chart field back to where his journey started.
The same chart specialists who served the company's customers for decades still pick up the phone today. Going forward, Baker, Lyman will continue to lead in the market providing charts, publications, and all manner of bridge supplies to vessels worldwide.
