4365 - Ingonish & Dingwall Harbours | Cape Breton Marine Map

Navigate the scenic and rugged northern shores of the Cape Breton Highlands with the CHS Nautical Chart 4365. Produced by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), this official nautical chart provides high-detail, large-scale coverage of two of the most critical northern ports in Nova Scotia: Ingonish Harbour (North and South Bays) and Dingwall Harbour.

This chart is an essential resource for mariners seeking shelter or port facilities along the Cabot Trail. Ingonish Harbour is a primary destination for recreational boaters and the gateway to the Keltic Lodge and Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Dingwall Harbour serves as a vital base for the local commercial fishing fleet. Given the shifting sands and narrow entrance channels characteristic of Dingwall, Chart 4365 provides the granular bathymetric data and up-to-date soundings required for safe entry and docking.

Key Navigational Features:

• Large-Scale Harbour Detail: Precise mapping of the inner basins, public wharves, and breakwaters for both Ingonish and Dingwall.

• Official Hydrography: Features up-to-date depth soundings, seabed composition, and tidal data essential for navigating the Atlantic's eastern swells.

• Navigation Aids: Clearly identifies range lights, coastal beacons, and buoyage systems used to mark the narrow harbour approaches.

• Safety & Hazard Marking: Pinpoints submerged rocks near Cape Smoky and the shifting sandbars at the Dingwall entrance.

• Professional Grade: Printed on heavy-duty, durable nautical paper to meet official carriage requirements for vessels operating in Canadian waters.

Whether you are a cruising sailor exploring the Highlands or a commercial fisherman navigating the Aspy Bay region, Chart 4365 provides the reliability and precision needed for safe coastal maneuvering.
