How old is that chart? All of my US charts from the recent past use MLLW

as the datum for
soundings. I even checked in my Chesapeake ChartKit to see if they were

different.

OK - Here's a quiz: What's the meaning of LLWLT?

BTW, I thought of commenting on the "8 feet above MLW" also - around here

we have 10 foot
tides and flooding is measured above MHW

Found the 'old' chart. It reads '' controlling depths in feet at Mean

Low
Water (MLW)''. AND; depths reffered to soundings (MLW)''.
