Wow! Lines on paper!

soundings in fathoms,

Why do you need to know how deep the water in the middle of th eocean
is? Are you really at risk of running aground there? Gonna drop anchor?

rose, loran linear interpolator, variation factors, pollution reports,

Anywhere your boat is

ship wrecks, conversion tables, explosive dumping areas, submarine
operation areas

The whole ocean is a "submarine operating area."

.... reefs, islands, atolls
