Coastal Chart

The document provides instructions for a plotting exercise to determine a ship's position using its latitude and longitude, and then to plot the location of three points on a nautical chart: Bluff Point, Point Stuart, and Peninsula Point. The exercise involves solving for the ship's position using a range of an object and bearing of another taken at different times, corrected for current.
