Manual Hydrography Project: or how I learned to leave the PING and love the LEAD LINE - The Rules For This Project To try and be as accurate and true to the idea of doing a manual survey that historically accurate I gave myself the below rules Start with a blank paper Use my own hands and brain Use only manual methods and tools (1) Manual = not “electronic” or modern computer based Manual example: Magnetic Compass, Simple Theodolite (adjusted by hand), Sextant, Lead Line, Pen & Pencil, Ruler, ect. (2) Not Manual example: GPS, Sonar, laser range finder, ect. Methods primarily from Coast and Geodetic Survey Can’t just make things up cause I feel like this might be a better idea. All these techniques and tools have been recorded for a reason. Nautical Chart needs to be as accurate as possible While I do not intend to sail on this chart I want to make sure that I understand the limitations of the data so making sure I do everything as accurate as a I can will ensure I understand the limits of the techniques and tools. (1) if manual method not available use next most manual method (2) I did end up utilizing a python script to perform some basic geodetic and survey math. However, to make it “manual” I did not use any python libraries[besides the Math library] and built out all the math for the script myself. I consider this still in the spirt of the project, but if anyone disagrees I would love to hear and I will go back and crank out the math by hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d1fbdfdd7a73331eb360e/1615725986546-E3CJNX0HGUC7RN01PSPR/20210108_164501.jpg Projects - Manual Hydrography Project: or how I learned to leave the PING and love the LEAD LINE - Purpose (THIS SECTION IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!!!) “We stand on the shoulders of giants” is a quote that I always live by. When learning about Hydrography it always annoyed me that a slide or sentence would be spent on “In the past they used lead lines and now we have electronics and computers so our data is better” It annoys me because it is more than that! They didn’t just use lead lines, and these old techniques were used and perfected for hundreds of years before we had all of our fancy electronics. There data wasn’t worse than ours! It has been my goal to research and replicate a hydrographic survey using as many manual techniques that I can. I spent months on months researching and practicing the techniques that I found from all over the globe. What better place to test my manual survey than the Hauge a body of water right outside my door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d1fbdfdd7a73331eb360e/da86fd0c-2351-4b7e-a0bd-18a6c1808cac/steps.PNG Projects - Manual Hydrography Project: or how I learned to leave the PING and love the LEAD LINE (INSERT CITATIONS HERE) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d1fbdfdd7a73331eb360e/1615726367575-K7TZHKM1PFDKDQHTW8RS/20210117_105901.jpg Projects - Manual Hydrography Project: or how I learned to leave the PING and love the LEAD LINE - A single point (The Base Station) The one electronic point… This is cheating but if I did it the hard way I would have had to do celestial observations, and all this other stuff that I did not have time to learn and still am learning.

So I learned how to find the LAT/LONG of something based upon the distance and bearing. I then slapped that math into a script in python and had myself a way to check points and to find the corner lat/long of my map. It is by no means a GREAT script, but it is my script and I am proud of it.
