Running survey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Survey made by a vessel while coasting

Arunning survey is a roughsurvey made by a vessel while coasting. Bearings to landmarks are taken at intervals as the vessel sails offshore, and are used to fix features on the coast and further inland. Intervening coastal detail is sketched in.^[1]

The method was used byJames Cook,^[2]^[3]^[4] and subsequently by navigators who sailed under—or were influenced by—him, includingGeorge Vancouver,^[5]William Bligh andMatthew Flinders.^[6]
