Asunto: [NavList 7064] Virgin Rocks.

This is the first of two requests for help.

I've noticed, in Admiraly "Ocean passages for the World", 1973 , a mention

of "Virgin Rocks" in  a routeing chart for approaches to East Coast ports

facing page 73, marked by a "+" symbol.. Virgin Rocks are shown at roughly

46º 30' N, 51ºW, about 80 miles East of Cape Race..

I don't have any detailed information about the waters East of Newfoundland,

and wonder if any Navlist member can help. All I am asking is whether Virgin

Rocks presents a hazard to surface vessels, such that craft of say 15 ft.

draught might need to keep clear of it (or rough water around it), and

perhaps whether icebergs might have a tendency to ground around it in the

early part of the season (May).

George.
