Shipwrite
Maps have been drawn from our extensive collection of depth soundings and
observations of the areas at all stages of tide over a period of
years, as well as from Canadian Hydrographic Service Charts and
Topographic Survey Maps.
The
Nautical Charts and Publications
Regulations, 1995 of the Canada
Shipping Act, 2001 require all vessels
to have on board, maintain, and use proper navigational charts.
This map is not a chart within the meaning of these regulations
and does not fulfil that requirement.
Shipwrite Productions maps may
be used as guides to show skippers the types of features
that have been observed in the past as well as their
characteristics and approximate locations. Shipwrite
Productions maps may also be used by skippers who wish to
record their own observations.
