Question 1957Navigation General
70% to passWhere would you find information about the time of high tide at a specific location on a particular day of the year?
A
Tidal Current Tables
B
Nautical Almanac
C
Tide Tables
D
Coast Pilot
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Tide Tables. Tide Tables are the primary reference source for information on the times and heights of high and low tides at specific locations. They provide this data for each day of the year, allowing mariners to plan their activities and movements around the tidal cycles. The other answer choices are not the best sources for this type of information. Tidal Current Tables focus on currents rather than tide heights, the Nautical Almanac provides more general astronomical data, and the Coast Pilot contains broader navigational information rather than tide predictions for a specific location and date.
