116 nautical miles of tidal waters from the Delaware Capes
(Henlopen and May) to Trenton, and above the Falls another 198 statute miles of
small-craft river to Hancock NY; major cities and seaports; fishing, commercial shipping,
and a busy pleasure boat scene -- that's the Delaware. Here are some of the books and
charts that will help you find your way around this fascinating destination.
NOS charts are the "official" government charts. They are
the largest,
clearest, and most up-to-date charts available, though not the handiest. With every NOS
chart, Pilothouse gives you a free ANMS (Automated Notice to Mariners) printout to help
bring it up to date.$20.25
each.
