Book Description
Excerpt from Sailing Directions for Lake Superior, St. Marys River, Straits of Mackinac, Vol. 1 It is the intention of the Hydrographic Office to publish, as soon as possible, a complete set of sailing directions for the Great Lakes. At present the sailing directions will be published in parts, beginning with the present work. This will be followed in turn by Lake Michigan, Lake Huron with the St. Clair and Detroit rivers, and Lake St. Clair and finally by lakes Erie and Ontario, with the St. Lawrence River to Montreal. At Montreal this work will connect with Hydrographic Office publica tion No. 100, thus giving complete sailing directions from Duluth, Minn., to the Atlantic Ocean. The amount of available information in regard to Lake Superior is very limited the descriptions of the lake itself and the harbors on the United States side having been obtained principally from the annual reports of the Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army, and from the charts published by the United States Engineers. The lake shore and harbors on the Canadian side are described from reports of the Canadian department of marine and fisheries.
