Excerpt from The Currents in the Gulf of St. Lawrence: From Investigations of the Tidal and Current Survey in the Seasons of 1894, 1895, 1896, 1906, 1908, 1911 and 1912 In the investigations, the steamer employed was anchored in positions care fully selected for the purpose in view. These were in all depths, up to 250 fath oms. The steamer thus served as a fixed point from which to observe the be haviour of the current. The observations of the current were obtained with cur rent meters registering electrically on board, and in continuous operation day and night. The speed was measured at the standard depth of 18 feet, in all cases. The wind velocity was measured by an anemometer on board; supplemented by complete meteorological observations at four hour intervals. A continuous record of the tide was obtained simultaneously for comparison with the currents. At tidal stations in the region, established by this Survey. All directions and bearings are referred to true north. The time through out the Gull area is Standard time for the 60° meridian West of Greenwich.
