Sailing Directory For The Coast Of The United States

Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Excerpt from Sailing Directory for the Coast of the United States: Between Boston and the Mississippi, Including the Gulf of Florida, and the Coast of Cuba to Havana The descriptions of the Coasts of the United States which succeed, are derived from, and are made to accord with, the fine series Of charts drawn up by the officers of the United States Coast Survey. This great work was determined on in 1807, but was not properly commenced till ten years later, under Mr. F. R. Hassler, who continued it for many years. In 1842 a new plan was organized under Professor A. D. Bache, who, as is well known, continued it far towards completion. The elaborate charts of the coasts and harbours, which were published by the Hydrographic Bureau at Washington, contained generally, besides the topographical and hydrographic details, brief sailing directions applicable to its area. To these attached notes we are largely indebted for the subsequent directions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
