Navigate the world’s highest tides with confidence using the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) Nautical Chart 4399. This high-resolution marine chart provides the definitive tactical view of Parrsboro Harbour and its seaward approaches within the Minas Basin. Mapped at an ultra-detailed 1:12,154 scale, Chart 4399 is an essential tool for mariners navigating the dramatic environment of the upper Bay of Fundy, where massive tidal shifts transform the landscape twice daily.
As an official CHS publication, this chart is specifically designed to address the unique challenges of the Parrsboro coastline. It features precise bathymetric soundings (in metres), clearly defining the navigable channels and the extensive drying flats that emerge at low tide. The chart provides accurate positioning for the Parrsboro Lighthouse and all essential approach buoys, as well as critical data on the notorious currents of the Minas Passage. Updated to the latest Notice to Mariners (NTM), Chart 4399 is indispensable for commercial vessels, research crafts, and recreational boaters exploring the cliffs of the Fundy Shore or visiting the Glooscap Heritage/Ship's Company Theatre area.
