PRESENT SEASON
WORK OE MAPPING
LARGEST TflDATE
COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY
WORK CHARTING WATERS
DESCRIBED
The cry of Alaskan mariners for
charts and more charts is rapidly be.
ing answered in the form of accurate,
detailed knowledge that is making it
possible for ships to transact business
in heretofore inaccessible places and
to find safe anchorages wr!here none
have been known to exist.
The present season of work mapped
out by the Coast and Geodetic Survey
for the U. S. Surveyor, Capt. R. R.
Lukens, is one of the largest ever at.
tempted in Alaskan waters. The area
stretches from Prince William Sound
to Kodiak Island, a distance of 200
miles.
JOINS OLD SURVEYS
A large party in charge of J. C.
Partington, in camp at the head of
Day Harbor, has finished the measure,
ment of a base line and triangulated
out to Barwell Island where it joins
the old surveys of 1905. The shore
line has been mapped and the area
Is now being sounded.
CREW MEMBER HONORED
This survey has developed a fine
harbor at the head of Day Harbor
.and has been named Bowen Anchorage
in honor of W. H. Bowen, of the Sur
veyor's crew, who was drowned in an
attempt to save his shipmates in
Resurrection Bay, October 3, 1927.
Bowen Anchorage is perfectly pro.
tected and has a depth of 13 fathoms
with a soft mud bottom which makes
it an ideal anchorage.
TRIANGULATION WORK
The Helianthus, in charge of L. S.
Hubbard, has been doing triangula.
tion to the westward from Ailak Bay.
These points will be used later on in
mapping the shore line and in locat
ing the thousands of soundings that
will be necessary in surveying the
water areas.
OLD MAPS INACCURATE
The Wildcat, in charge of P. A.
Smith, is making a survey of Port Ho.
bron, on Kodiak Island. This is the
first survey work ever done on the
East coast of Kodiak, the present
charts being compiled from old-Rus
sian maps, which are very inaccurate.
The fact htat large vessels are now
enternig and leaving this bay with
great frequency makes the need for
accurate charts imperative.
DIFFICULT SHORE LINE
The Surveyor has just finished
mapping the coast line from Cape
Junkin to Day Harbor, a distance of
25 miles. Captain Lukens says that
in all his 20 years service this is the
most difficult piece of shore line he I
has ever had to survey. It resembles
a breakwater, being so steep and
rocky that landings can be made only
in the smoothest weather. Several
times the landing parties were cap.
sized and a number of men washed
off rocks, but no serious injuries
were experienced.
WAIT ON WEATHER
Triangulation parties consisting of
one officer and an assistant are now
located on Montague Island, Cape
Junken, Barrwell Island and Ch is well
