Which are the specific conditions to get a pirate map to drop?

On the wiki it states that "The Pirate Map is a Hard mode item used to summon a Pirate Invasion. It has a 1% (1/100) chance of dropping from any enemy within or close to an Ocean during Hardmode."

I want to ask how far is the limit of 'close to ocean'?

Answer in co-ordinate difference between end of ocean and end of "close to ocean" would be appreciated.

Pirate Maps drop from enemies when you're in an ocean biome, which is either in or near the ocean itself (hence the wording on the wiki page). In other words, as long as you hear the Ocean biome music and you're in hardmode, kill every enemy in sight and eventually you'll get one.
