Within the Coast Pilot, which volumes cover the Great Lakes and Alaska?

• A. Volume 7 Great Lakes; Volumes 6 & 9 Alaska
• B. Volume 6 Great Lakes; Volumes 8 & 9 Alaska
• C. Volume 5 Great Lakes; Volumes 7 & 8 Alaska
• D. Volume 6 Great Lakes; Volumes 7 & 8 Alaska

Answer: (B)

The Coast Pilot is organized by geographic regions, with each area assigned to a specific volume. The Great Lakes region is covered in Volume 6, which includes inland waters and the approaches around the Great Lakes. Alaska is vast, so its navigation details span two volumes to give thorough coverage—Volume 8 and Volume 9. This combination matches how the Coast Pilot distributes coverage, so it’s the correct pairing.
