Which publication contains information on navigation regulations, landmarks, channels, anchorages, tides, currents, and clearances of bridges for Chesapeake Bay?
• U.S. government navigation publications used for coastal piloting in U.S. waters • Difference between aids to navigation lists and coast/harbor guides • What publication mariners use for local regulations, channels, anchorages, and bridge data in a specific U.S. bay
• For each option, ask: does this mainly list individual lights and buoys, or does it describe coastal features, regulations, and routes? • Which publication is specific to U.S. coastal areas like Chesapeake Bay, versus broad ocean areas or foreign coasts? • Which one would a small commercial vessel actually open to find bridge clearances, local regulations, and detailed harbor/channel info before entering Chesapeake Bay?
• Verify which book is published by NOAA for U.S. coasts and harbors rather than for open-ocean planning. • Check which option is known for text descriptions and regulatory information, not just charts or light/buoy listings. • Confirm which publication has dedicated volumes for Chesapeake Bay and adjacent U.S. coastal areas.
