🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the chart at LAT 37°06.0'N, LONG 75°41.1'W to find the charted depth (soundings/contours) at or nearest to that position • Determine the height of tide at 0500 for the correct reference station and apply it to the charted depth • Remember that depth under the keel = (actual water depth) − (vessel’s draft from the earlier part of the exam problem)

💭 Think About

• At 0500, is the tide above or below chart datum? How does that change the total water depth compared to the charted sounding? • Which nearby sounding or contour on the chart best represents the depth at your plotted position, and are the soundings in feet or fathoms? • After you add (or subtract) the tide to the charted depth, what do you get when you subtract the vessel’s draft? Does that number closely match one of the options?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the units of soundings at that chart location (feet vs fathoms) and convert properly if needed • Verify the vessel’s draft used earlier in this exam problem before subtracting from total water depth • Double‑check you are using the tide height at 0500 (not 0405 or another time) for the correct station before choosing the closest answer
