🔍 Key Concepts

• Use a chart of the lower Chesapeake Bay to measure the distance between Cape Henry Light and Yorktown. • Think about whether the question is asking for nautical miles along the water route or straight-line (rhumb line) distance. • Consider prominent waypoints: entrance to Chesapeake Bay, Hampton Roads, and the York River up to Yorktown.

💭 Think About

• If you trace a reasonable vessel route from Cape Henry Light toward Yorktown, which major harbor areas or channels would you pass near or through? • Compare how far up the York River Yorktown is located—does that add significantly to the distance from the Bay entrance? • Looking at the answer choices, which ones seem too short or too long for a run from the ocean entrance to a town well up a tidal river?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm on a chart the approximate nautical mile scale from Cape Henry Light to the mouth of the York River. • Then add the distance from the river mouth up to Yorktown rather than just to the river entrance. • Double-check whether any choice is clearly inconsistent with known distances, such as Cape Henry to nearby ports like Norfolk or Newport News.
