4447 - Pomquet and Tracadie Harbours | St. Georges Bay Nova Scotia Marine Map

Navigate the intricate estuaries of Northeastern Nova Scotia with the specialized detail of CHS Nautical Chart 4447. Providing high-resolution coverage of Pomquet Harbour and Tracadie Harbour, this chart is an essential resource for mariners operating within the shallow, tide-sensitive waters of St. Georges Bay. These harbours are known for their shifting sandbars, narrow entrance channels, and significant ecological value, requiring the precise hydrographic data found only in official Canadian Hydrographic Service documents.

Chart 4447 offers detailed mapping of the "bar" entrances that characterize these coastal lagoons. It provides critical information for navigating the winding channels of Pomquet, Monks Head, and the sheltered basins of Tracadie. Whether you are a local fisher accessing the wharf at Tracadie, a recreational boater exploring the Northumberland Strait, or a researcher monitoring coastal erosion, this chart offers the soundings, navigational aids, and shoreline detail necessary for safe and efficient transit.

Key Features include:

• Large-Scale Harbour Detail: Dual coverage of Pomquet and Tracadie Harbours, featuring the complex tidal inlets and inner basins.

• Hydrographic Accuracy: Features precise depth soundings and seabed composition essential for navigating the shallow bars and shifting sands.

• Navigational Infrastructure: Clearly identifies the Tracadie wharf, breakwaters, and the specific range lights and buoys required for harbour entry.

• Coastal Geomorphology: Meticulously records the barrier beaches and salt marshes that define this segment of the Antigonish County coastline.

• Professional Grade: Produced to the rigorous standards of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) for professional navigation, maritime safety, and GIS analysis.
