70% to pass

Which publication would describe the explosive anchorages in the ports on the east coast of the United States?

A Notice to Mariners
B Sailing Directions
C Pilot Rules for Inland Waters
D Coast Pilot
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Coast Pilot. The Coast Pilot publication series provides detailed information on the ports, harbors, and coastal regions of the United States, including details on navigational hazards, anchorages, and other features that mariners need to be aware of. The Coast Pilot would be the most authoritative source for information on explosive anchorages in east coast ports, as it is specifically designed to provide comprehensive navigational data for coastal areas. The other options are not as relevant - the Notice to Mariners and Sailing Directions provide more general navigational information, while the Pilot Rules cover regulations for inland waterways rather than coastal areas.
