Excerpt from Pacific Coast: Coast Pilot of California, Oregon, and Washington Territory Before the acquisition of California by the United States, comparatively little was known of the hydrography and geography of its coast, except by the few navigators trading along its seaboard, or the daring otter hunter, familiar with every cove, rock, and headland. In the following pages it is proposed to state all that is known at the present time of the Pacific coast of the United States, from the southern boundary of California, in latitude 32 32', to the northern boundary of Washington Territory, in latitude 49, embracing an ocean shore-line of over three thousand one hundred and twenty miles, divided as follows: California, including the island of Santa Barbara Channel, one thousand and ninety-seven miles; Oregon, two hundred and eighty-five miles; Washington Territory, including islands in Washington Sound and shores of Puget Sound, one thousand seven hundred and thirty-eight miles. Whatever has not come under our own criticism will be taken from the published reports and maps of the Coast Survey. The names adopted will be those most reliable. Where any known changes have taken place they will be stated. Where any position is given to the nearest minute only, it has been taken from the latest chart of the Coast Survey. The longitude is reckoned west from Greenwich. Tables and examples are introduced to show the manner of predicting the times and height of high and low waters at San Francisco and other harbors. Soundings are given for the mean of the lower low waters. Bearings are magnetic. Distances are expressed in geographical (nautical) miles. Descriptions of light-houses, fog-bells, buoys, &c., are from the published notices of the Light-house Board.
