The '''Old Sea Map''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ふるびたかいず|Furubita Kaizu}}''' ''Old Sea Chart'') is an [[Event item|event-exclusive]] [[Key Item]] needed to access [[Faraway Island]], a location at which {{p|Mew}} can be encountered and caught. The only game it has appeared in is {{game|Emerald}}.

===Effect===
The Old Sea Map allows the player to travel to [[Faraway Island]] via the [[S.S. Tidal]], where a wild {{p|Mew}} can be encountered.

When the {{player}} has the Old Sea Map, if they interact with the woman standing in front of the S.S. Tidal at the [[Lilycove City]] Harbor, she will fetch the captain. The captain initially claims it is impossible to take the player to the area denoted on the chart, but [[Mr. Briney]] scolds him for turning the player away and volunteers to take the player to Faraway Island, even though it is a long way from [[Hoenn]].

After the boat ride, the player enters Faraway Island, a small island with a thick patch of forest. Deep within this forest, the player notices Mew, who flees playfully. After a short game of hide and seek, the player is able to pin Mew in a corner and engage it in battle.

The Old Sea Map was one of the items [[Ultima]] stole from [[Team Rocket]] at [[Trainer Tower]] in ''[[PS292|Bested by Banette]]''. She had been looking for it in order to help her old friend, [[Mr. Briney]], find a way to [[Faraway Island]]. When Ultima called Briney about her find, however, she was shocked to learn that the old sailor had managed to find the island without the map.
