A Nautical Almanac
B Tidal Current Tables

AI Explanation

These tables provide detailed data on the strength and direction of tidal currents at various locations, which is essential information for mariners navigating coastal and inland waterways. The other options are incorrect because: A) The Nautical Almanac does not contain specific information about tidal currents. C) The Mariner's Guide is a general reference and does not focus on tidal current data. D) Tide Tables provide information about the rise and fall of tides, but not the direction and velocity of tidal currents.
