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 46� 30' N, 51�W, 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).
