Pacific Coast Pilot

Originally published in 1856, the Pacific Coast Pilot is a comprehensive guide to navigating the coastline from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to San Diego. Written by Henry Ezra Nichols, a naval officer and experienced pilot, this book includes detailed charts, descriptions of anchorages and harbors, and information on tides, currents, and weather patterns. While some of the information may be outdated, the Pacific Coast Pilot remains a fascinating historical document and a useful reference for sailors and maritime historians alike.
