Q

Which nautical chart would you use to navigate into New London, CT?

🔍 Key Concepts

• NOAA nautical chart numbering system for the New England coast • How harbor/entrance charts differ from larger area coastal charts • Location of New London, CT relative to surrounding Long Island Sound charts

💭 Think About

• Which chart number would most likely be a larger-scale harbor or approach chart specifically covering New London, rather than a broad coastal overview? • Think about how chart numbers for adjacent areas tend to be grouped—would New London’s harbor chart be numbered close to other Long Island Sound ports? • If you had to pick a chart for close‑in pilotage and entering the harbor, which choice looks like it would logically be the detailed local chart rather than a general area chart?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is least likely to be a small‑scale, wide‑area coastal chart • Consider which chart number seems like it would be used for harbor approaches rather than offshore routing • Ask yourself: “If I were buying one chart just to run into New London Harbor, which number here most logically fits that role?”
