Bearings, depths, hazards, and the month the ice will trap you. Norie's sailing directions are what a shipmaster actually carried into the Baltic: the approaches, the leading marks, the shoals off Kronstadt, the currents, the prevailing winds, and the season when the whole gulf closes. A working manual from the age of sail, and an oddly hypnotic portrait of a dangerous sea.
