Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Alaska Coast Pilot Notes From Yakutat Bay to Cook Inlet
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.
