Nautical Charts (Classic Reprint) by G. R. Putnam Pdf

Excerpt from Nautical Charts IN preparing the material for a lecture on Charts for Columbia University, the writer was impressed with the fact that although nautical charts are mentioned or dis cussed in many publications, there was not found any one which covered the general subject of their origin, con struction, and use. In the countries of the world more than a million copies of such charts are now issued annually. A considerable portion of the human race is interested directly or indirectly, whether as mariners or passengers or Shippers, in navigation upon the sea. Aside from supplying a handbook for those who might have a general interest in the subject, it was thought that a discussion of charts might lead to further con sideration of the principles governing their construction. This paper has intentionally been made as non technical as seemed feasible in treating a somewhat technical subject. The writer is indebted to the Coast and Geodetic Survey for various illustrative material from its archives, and to a number of authors for facts or suggestions. A list is appended of books and papers which have been freely consulted, bearing on this and related subjects.

Hydrographical Surveying by W. J. L. Wharton Pdf

Excerpt from Hydrographical Surveying: A Description of the Means and Methods Employed in Constructing Marine Charts I have endeavoured in the following pages to collect together information which has for the most part existed, but in a traditionary form, for many years. Circumstances have led to a partial break in this tradition, and it is no disparagement to the more modern treatises on nautical surveying to say that the young surveyor has no book to which he can refer for information on all details, as they, confessedly, do not enter into them.

Sailing Directions for the River of St. Lawrence to Accompany the Chart (Classic Reprint) by Alexander George Findlay Pdf

Excerpt from Sailing Directions for the River of St. Lawrence to Accompany the Chart These fogs are probably occasioned by the unequal temperature of the water brought down'by the river and that of the gulf, which is colder, from the influx of the northern stream through the Strait of Belle Isle, and between these and the air. The eddy flood mixing with the waters of the river, besides occasioning the dense and low fogs, are also probably the occasion of the phenomenon of Mirage, which sometimes occurs, and which is caused by terrestrial refraction from unequal temperatures in the different strata of the air and water. Currents, - The current which prevails through the Strait of Belle Isle passes along the North shore of the gulf, at a short distance from it, leaving a space between it and the land, in which the alterations of tide are tolerably regular, when not otherwise affected by the winds. Pursuing this s.w. Direction towards Cape Whittle, and gradually losing its force as it advances, it takes the direction given it by the trending ofthe coast at this part, and meeting with the current which comes from the West, from the river on the North side of Anticosti, and which perhaps is deflected by the projection of the land at Natashquan Point, it gradually takes a s.s.e. Course across the gulf, and then meeting with the main current of the St. Lawrence, coming to the South of Anticosti, between it and the Magdalen Islands, the whole of the waters take a s.e. Course, through the principal entrance of the gulf, between Cape Bay on Newfoundland and the Island of St. Paul.

Suggested Symbols for Plans, Maps, and Charts by U. S. National Resources Committee Pdf

Excerpt from Suggested Symbols for Plans, Maps, and Charts: Revised April 1937 The need for a greater degree of standardization of symbols used on maps and charts to show research, statistical and survey data} as well as planning recommendations, is widely recognized. A common language based on a common alphabet of symbols is obviously essen tial if the audience, whether general or Specialized, is to interpret correctly maps and charts prepared by planning and research agencies. For example, it is confusing to find the same green tint used on one map to represent recreation areas, also used on another to indicate a town site.
