Tidal Observations in Arctic Waters

Abstract

Manning's notes on tides along the southern Hudson Bay and western James Bay coasts are those made by him in 1947 while canoeing from Moosonee to York Factory and around Akimiski Island; tidal observations at Resolute Bay on Cornwallis Island, July-Aug. 1949, and at Isachsen (78 47 N, 103 32 W) Aug. 31-Sept. 6, 1949 were made by R.W. Rae; editorial note supplements the Resolute Bay observations by mentioning measurements made in 1850-51 at Assistance Bay on Cornwallis Island during a Franklin search voyage and reported by P.C. Sutherland (in his Journal of a voyage, 1852).
