BRITISH ADMIRALTY PUBLICATIONS Admiralty Charts covering the coasts of the whole of Canada, together with the river St. Lawrence and Great Lakes, are for sale by J. D. Potter, Admiralty Chart Agent, 145 Minories, London, England. He has appointed the following Sub-Agents in Canada, who usually keep on hand copies of charts in demand in their districts: ....Harrison & Co.. .... Montreal T. J. Moore & Co... Thomson Stationery Co.. .53 Metcalfe street. .118 Mountain hill. Messrs. Creighton & Marshall, Ordnance Square, Halifax, though not Agents, also keep charts in stock. NOTE. There is an erroneous impression abroad that the Marine Department keeps on hand Admiralty Charts for free distribution This is not the case. Any charts required for the use of the Department the Canadian Government purchases from the publishers at the advertised price. LISTS OF LIGHTS AND FOG SIGNALS Lists of Lights and Fog Signals in the Dominion are published in three separate sections, viz.: ATLANTIC COAST, including the Gulf and River St. Lawrence to head of ocean. navigation, Montreal. INLAND WATERS. PACIFIC COAST, including British Columbia lakes and rivers. Any of these Lists will be sent free of charge, upon request, by the Department of Marine and Fisheries, Ottawa. NOTICES TO MARINERS Notices to mariners are promptly printed and distributed concerning new aids to navigation established or change of a temporary or permanent character, and of uncharted rocks and shoals discovered, in order that captains and other · navigators may be informed. The notices, in order to reach mariners, are sent in Canada to collectors of customs, agents of this department and other outside officers, to consuls of foreign countries, to the British admiralty and to the marine authorities of foreign countries. STORM WARNINGS. Storm warning bulletins, and signals considered by all cautious mariners useful aids in determining whether they should proceed to sea when ready, are displayed at all important ports on the Atlantic coast, gulf of St Lawrence, bay of Fundy, St. Lawrence river, Great Lakes and Pacific coast. Information of weather conditions, forecasts and warnings of dangerous storms, is almost hourly given in addition to the reports published twice daily, by the officers of the meteorological service under the control of the department. Shippers of perishable goods consult these warnings and make it a point to be governed by them. The number of storm signal stations has increased annually. At Camperdown, Nova Scotia Marconi station, the time signal from land lines from Halifax is automatically repeated at the instant of one o'clock. Navigators find this method useful and practical for checking chronometers at sea. WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. The importance of wireless telegraph stations on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts has been recognized. The Marconi system has been established on the Atlantic coast, but at the Pacific coast stations, the Shoemaker system has been adopted. The latter system permits of inter-communication with vessels and stations having any other system of wireless telegraphy. The system adopted on the Great Lakes is similar to the Atlantic coast system. |
