GOISIIII SURVEYS IN
KJSHMEFH
UNDER BGE
I
Only 18 per cent of the coastal
waters of Alaska have been charted
by the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey, according to the
annual report of Capt. R. S. Pat
ton, director, to the Secretary of -
Commerce, which has just been
published. Oregon and Washington
coasts have been charted 100 per
cent and California 78 per cent.
The Philippines and Hawaii have
86 per cent and completion, respec
tively.
Three vessels were engaged in
survey work in Alaska during the
fiscal year ending June 30. The Ex
plorer completed surveys in Behm
Canal and extended them south
ward into Revillagigedo Channel.
This project will be continued
southward into regions embraced
by chart 8,075 which have not been
adequately charted.
The Surveyor continued on its
work of charting the coast of Ko
diak Island, extended work along
the southeast coast from Sitkinak
Strait eastward to a junction with
Sitkalidak Strait. The surveys made
by this party supply the informa
tion for charting the greater por
tion of the area embraced by new
charts 8,536 and 8,537.
The Discoverer extended surveys
southward along Kenai Peninsula,
across the straits to Shuyak and
along the north coast of that
island. The surveys made by this
party supply the information for
chart 8.532 and the correction of
chart 8 531.
No geodetic work was accom
plished in Alaska during the year.
Two primary tide stations were
maintained in the Territory—at
Ketchikan and Seward.
Thirty-two magnetic and seismo
graph stations were occupied in
the Territory during the year.
The Sitka seismograph station
was improved by the addition of
variometers compensated for tem
perature which replaced those for
merly in use. Seismograph opera
tions were continued there.
