Texas-Houston Ship Channel, Alexander Island to Carpenter Bayou

This coastal survey was made in Washington D.C. on December 2, 1944 by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Houston Ship Channel from Alaxander Island to Carpenter Bayou in Texas is illustrated on this map. Details include depth readings, lights, buoys, radio beacons ( stamped on map), and the names of important cities and waterways along the coast. The most recent corrections are hand stamped on the map. Notes on the map read: Warning: Aids to navigation may be altered, interrupted or removed without notice. In general, temporary changes due to war conditions are not incorporated on the chart. Caution: Improved Channels- The side limits of the improvement are shown by broken lines. The controlling depth through the channel, on the date given, is placed in or alongside the channel, or in a seperate note, but no depth greater than the project depth is given. Because of possible shoaling, particularly at the edges, it must not be inferred that the depth stated exsisted throughout the entire width of the improvement on the date of the examination unless so stated, or that it has not since decreased in places across the entire width. Caution: Temporary changes affecting Lights, Buoys and Day Beacons Aids which have been destroyed or removed, but which will be reestablished and are temporarily replaced by aids of different characteristics, are indicated in color by the following abbreviations. D Destroyed, to be reestablished TRB Temporarily replaced by a red buoy TBB Temporarily replaced by a black buoy TFB Temporarily replaced by a fixed white light buoy TFRB Temporarily replaced by a fixed red light buoy TFLB Temporarily replaced by a flashing white light buoy TFLRB Temporarily replaced by a flashing red light buoy
