The North Shore Gateway: 4937 - Pugwash, Wallace & Amet Sound

Navigate the vibrant industrial and recreational corridors of the Northumberland Strait with the professional precision of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS). Chart 4937 is the definitive navigational authority for the northeastern coast of Nova Scotia, covering the vital ports of Pugwash and Wallace, as well as the biologically rich waters of Amet Sound.

Precision Data for Industry and Exploration

This region is home to unique maritime challenges, from the deep-draft vessels transporting salt out of Pugwash to the intricate shoals that define the entrance to Wallace Harbour. CHS Chart 4937 provides the "ground-truth" data required for:

• Large-Scale Harbour Detail (1:35,000): Offers high-fidelity views of Pugwash Harbour and Wallace Harbour, essential for maneuvering in narrow channels and docking at industrial wharves.

• Amet Sound & Approaches: Provides detailed bathymetry for the Amet Sound region, a popular destination for seasonal cruising and local fisheries between Malagash and Tatamagouche Bay.

• Dynamic Coastal Bathymetry: Clearly marks the shifting sandbars and submerged hazards—such as the Pugwash Bar—that are critical for safety in these relatively shallow Atlantic waters.

• Essential Aids to Navigation: Displays the latest lateral buoys, range lights, and coastal elevations, aiding in visual pilotage for the region's active lobster and crab fleets.

The Standard for Nova Scotia Mariners

With the intensification of commercial shipping and the growth of sustainable ocean resources in the Northumberland Strait, the role of Chart 4937 is more vital than ever. Whether you are a ship's pilot guiding a bulk carrier, a commercial fisherman, or a recreational sailor exploring the Sunrise Trail from the water, this official CHS chart ensures you have the most accurate information on depths, dangers, and coastal configurations.
