This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alaska Coast Pilot Notes on the Fox Islands Passes, Unalaska Bay, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean Tide tables for the Pacific Coast of the United States, including British Columbia and Alaska, are published annually by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, predicting the times and heights of tides for every day in the year. On the coast of Alaska, including Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean, there are usually two unequal high waters and two unequal low waters during the lunar day, the irregularity varying principally with the declination of the moon. When the moon is near the equator the tides are generally nearly equal and have the least diurnal range. When the moon is near its greatest declination (farthest north or south) the tides are very unequal, and are called tropic tides. At such times the difference between the higher high and lower low water is the great tropic range, which is usually the greatest range for the month. In Norton Sound the tides are chiefly diurnal, from the fact that the inequality in the tides when the moon is near its greatest declination is increased to such an extent that the minor tides of the day (lower high water and higher low water) disappear, and but one high water and one low water occur during the lunar day. When the moon is near the equator, however, there are generally two high waters and two low waters, more or less unequal, during the lunar day, but the range of the tides is comparatively small.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alaska Coast Pilot Notes: From Yakutat Bay to Cook Inlet and Shelikof Strait From Cape St. Elias to the head of Cook Inlet and southward to Chiniak Bay, Cape Karluk, and Takli Island the principal points along the coast are determined by triangulation, and accurate courses and distances for coasting can be taken from chart 8502 (1910 edition). Some of the bays and arms are not surveyed, and their delineation on the chart is taken from the sketches of the early navigators adjusted to known points determined by later surveys. Vessels approaching Prince William Sound from southeastward generally make Cape St. Elias and pass 1 mile or more southward of Southeast Rock. On page 8 bearings and distances are given from Southeast Rock to the principal coast points of Southeast Alaska. A current, constant so far as known, sets northwestward along the coast of Alaska as far as Cape St. Elias. This current is increased by southeast winds and decreased by northwest winds, but its estimated velocity under ordinary conditions is 2/4 mile an hour. This should be kept in mind, especially when approaching Cape St. Elias from southeastward, as a vessel will generally overrun her log when bound westward. Cape St. Elias to Cape Hinchinbrook. - From a position 2 miles southward of Southeast Rock a 295 true (W 1/4 S mag.) course made good for 67 miles will lead to a position 1 1/2 miles southward of Cape Hinchinbrook. An examination of the logs of several courses between Cape St. Elias and Cape Hinchinbrook indicates that the currents are influenced by the tides, being stronger with the larger tides, and that the current on the ebb has frequently, but not always, caused a southerly set, and the current on the flood a northerly set. On some occasions when the range of the tides was small no marked set of current was noted. Results seem to point to a stronger current toward Cape St. Elias than Cape Hinchinbrook. Surveying parties report a constant set south westward along the coast of Hinchinbrook Island, and strong tidal currents were noticed across the reef at Cape St. Elias. At Middleton Island the tidal currents have a velocity of 2 to 3 miles, setting northward on the flood and southward on the ebb. Prince William Sound. - Vessels from southeastward enter Prince William Sound through Hinchinbrook Entrance, and leave the sound through Latouche or Elrington Passage when bound southwestward. The principal ports of call are Cordova and Valdez. Sailing directions for Orca Bay to Cordova are given on page 17. Sailing directions for the sound from Hinchinbrook Entrance and Latouche Passage to Valdez are given on page 21. Sailing directions for Latouche and Elrington passages are given on page 30. Latouche Passage to Resurrection Bay. - Having come from Latouche Passage by the channel east of Elrington Island, when 1/2 mile past Danger Island steer 257 true (SW l/2 W mag.) for 9 miles, giving the shore of Elrington Island a berth of 3/4 mile, to a position 3 miles 168 true (SE 1/2 S mag.) from Cape Puget. Then steer 263 true (SW by W mag.) for 26 miles, passing 2 miles off the headland 6 miles southwestward of Cape Puget. The south end of Rugged Island should be ahead, and the course and distance made good should lead to a position 1 mile 173 true (SE by S mag.) from Barwell Island off Cape Resurrection. Then follow the directions for entering Resurrection Bay from eastward. Latouche Passage to Seal Rocks. - Having come from Latouche Passage to a position 1 mile off the southeast side of Elrington Island, a 239 true (SSW 7/8 W mag.) course made good for 52 miles will lead to a position 3 miles 151 true (SE by E mag.) from Seal Rocks. Or, having come from Elrington Passage to a position 3 miles 168 true (SE 1/2 S mag.) from Cape Puget, a 235 true (SSW 1/2 W mag.) course made good for 43 miles will lead to a position 3 miles 151 true (SE by E mag.) from Seal Rocks.
