70% to pass

Information about the pilotage available at Miami harbor may best be obtained from which publication?

A Pilot Chart
B World Port Index
C Sailing Directions
D United States Coast Pilot
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) United States Coast Pilot. The United States Coast Pilot is the best publication to obtain information about pilotage in Miami harbor. The Coast Pilot series provides detailed information on harbors, ports, and waterways, including guidance on pilotage requirements and other navigational information. This makes it the most authoritative and comprehensive source for this type of local knowledge. The other answer choices are not as suitable for this specific query. Pilot Charts provide general oceanographic information, the World Port Index covers basic port details globally, and Sailing Directions focus more on open ocean navigation rather than specific harbor information.
