Publications
|
| Coast
Pilot |
The United States Coast
Pilot® consists of a series of nautical books that cover
a variety of information important to navigators of coastal
and intracoastal waters and the Great Lakes. Issued in nine
volumes, they contain supplemental information that is difficult
to portray on a nautical chart. |
| |
|
Bowditch
American Practical Navigator |
The publication describes
in detail the principles and factors of navigation, including
piloting, electronic navigation, celestial navigation, mathematics,
safety, oceanography and meteorology. |

|
| Notice
to Mariners |
The US Notice to Mariners
provides timely marine safety information for the correction
of all US Government navigation charts and publications
from a wide variety of sources both foreign and domestic. |
| |
|
| Local
Notice to Mariners |
The LNM is the primary
means for disseminating information concerning aids to navigation,
hazards to navigation, and other items of marine information
of interest to mariners on the waters of the United States,
it's territories, and possessions. These notices are essential
to all navigators for the purpose of keeping their charts.
Light Lists, Coast Pilots and other nautical publications
up-to-date. These notices are published weekly. |

US
Navigation Rules
(also known as the Rules of the Road)
|
These rules govern the
operation of vessels on inland waters and the high seas.
The Navigation Rules are much like the rules of the road
on the highway. They establish a consistent way to navigate
safely and avoid collisions when two boats are crossing
paths, are on course to meet head-on, or when one boat wishes
to overtake another. The rules establish vessel privilege
and means of identifying vessels to determine privilege. |
| |
|
| Light
Lists |
The Light List is published
in seven volumes and contains lights and other aids to navigation
used for general navigation that are maintained by or under
the authority of the U.S. Coast Guard and located in the
waters surrounding the United States and its Territories.
Each volume corresponds to a different regional area and
contains more complete information on each aid to navigation
than can be conveniently shown on charts. Volume 1 contains
the information for the navigation aids in our sailing waters. |
