Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
Vessels approaching Prince William Sound from southeastward generally make Cape St.
Elias and pass 1 mile or more southward of Southeast Rock On page 7 bearings and distances are given from Southeast Rock to the principal coast points of Southeast Alaska.
A current, constant so far as known, sets northwestward along the coast of Alaska as far as Cape St.
Elias. This current is increased by southeast winds and decreased by northwest winds, but its estimated velocity under ordinary conditions is mile an hour.
This should be kept in mind. Especially when approaching Cape St. Elias from southeastward, as a vessel will generally overrun her log when bound westward.
