The Coast and Geodetic
Survey, a bureau of the Com
merce Department, is re-
sponsible for charting the 2.5
million square miles of our
coastal waters. In addition it
produces aeronautical charts
and conducts basic geodetic re-
search.
In the early years of the
10Th century shipwrecks were
frequent along our poorly
charted coasts, with heavy
losses to the merchants en-
gagged in foreign trade and
the growing fishing industry.
On February 10, 1907, Congress
