these officers spent over 15 years on the Coast Survey. Maffitt
was considered to be the best of the Navy hydrographers assigned
to the Coast Survey. Maffitt went on to become a successful
Confederate commerce raider and blockade runner and was known
as the "Prince of the Privateers." Many consider him more capable
than Raphael Semmes although less well known. Craven was the
commander of the Monitor TECUMSEH which was destroyed by a torpedo
(present-day termed mine) at the Battle of Mobile Bay. Craven
lost his life with over 100 crew members. He is reported to
have told the vessel pilot "After you, Sir." The pilot escaped

(Gustavus Fox was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy under
Gideon Welles during the Civil War. He served on the Coast Survey
in the 1840's as a Naval Officer on the Brig WASHINGTON. In
this paper, he reconstructed the track of Columbus and concluded
that the true first landing of Columbus was at Samana Cay instead
of San Salvador Island. A well publicized reconstruction of
the Columbus track arrived at the same conclusion just prior
to the Columbus Quincentenerary. In that reconstruction, Fox's
presumed track was duplicated almost exactly by a computer simulation
of the Columbus track and landfall.) [Geographical Explorations;

(This technique, which was perfected within the Coast and Geodetic
Survey as wiredrag, involved towing a long wire between two
vessels suspended by buoys at a preset depth. If the wire encountered
an obstruction, it would "hang" and as the boats progressed
ahead the buoys would form a "V" pointing to the obstruction.
Primitive forms of this method were mentioned as early as the
1850's in Coast Survey reports. See Appendix 1857 - 13. This
method was first formulated by French hydrographers and further
developed by the United States Lake Survey under the Army Engineers
prior to adoption by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Literally
hundreds of unknown obstructions and dangers to navigation were
discovered by this method prior to the development of reliable,
highly accurate sidescan sonar systems. [Hydrography;

of Hassler, Bache, Eimbeck, etc., through steel tapes and invar
tapes. Steel tapes, which were introduced in the late 1800's
for precise geodetic surveying, had high coefficients of expansion
and were used during the more stable night-time temperature
hours for base line measurement. Invar was a material with a
very low coefficient of expansion which allowed the measurement
of bases during the day. Distance measurement techniques did
not experience another major improvement until post-World War
II with the modification of electronic aircraft navigation systems
for precise distance measurement.) [Geodesy; Base Line
