Navigational Publications
Active recall
Section 4 of 5
Which term means “tide tables, lights, port info, radio (all-in-one)”?
Several publications supplement charts: the Nautical Almanac (e.g., Reeds or Macmillan's) contains tide tables, tidal stream atlases, port information, light lists, radio information, and safety data. Admiralty Sailing Directions (Pilots) describe the coast, harbours, and approaches in detail.
The Admiralty List of Lights gives comprehensive details of every navigational light. Admiralty Tide Tables provide detailed tidal predictions. For leisure sailing, a comprehensive almanac covers most of these in one book.
