Navigation and Hazards: Charts: NOAA chart 13302, "Penobscot Bay and Approaches,"?or Maptech Waterproof Chart #40, "Rockland to Mount Desert Island"
One of the busiest harbors in Penobscot Bay, Rockland sits on the west shore of West Penobscot Bay between Owls Head to the south and Jameson Point to the north. The breakwater extends from Jameson Point, with Rockland Breakwater Light showing from a red brick tower and building at the end of the breakwater. A fog signal is also located at the light.
Approaches: The most prominent objects are a radio tower, which is lighted at night, the aerolight at the Knox County Regional Airport, and the radio tower and signal mast at Rockland Coast Guard Station on Crockett Point. The light on Owls Head, the tower at the Dragon Cement plant in nearby Thomaston, and the light at the end of the breakwater are also conspicuous. Approaching Rockland Harbor, the Breakwater Light may be steered for on any safe course, using the chart as a guide. Enter the harbor southward of the breakwater light, giving it a berth of 100 yards or more. The approach channel has three branch channels, all buoyed.
Hazards: The southwestern side of the harbor is very shoal inside the line between Seal Ledge and Atlantic Point (where grain silos are located). The northernmost area of the harbor is also shoal inside a line between Jameson Point and the North End Shipyard (1 foot at mean low water). Several rocks and ledges are in the harbor. The visible ones are Shag Rock, on a cluster of bare rocks, 0.3 mile northwestward of Owls Head and marked by a day beacon; Lowell Ledge, a cluster of rocks awash at low water on the south shore of the harbor opposite Jameson Point; and Seal Ledge, which uncovers about 5 feet, in the southwest end of the bay and marked by a day beacon. A buoy marks Spears Rock, covered 5 feet, about 300 yards northeastward of Lowell Ledge. Dangerous wrecks are on the south side of the harbor entrance about 0.5 mile northeast of Spears Rock and in the southwest part of the harbor about 200 yards south of Seal Ledge.
Tides: The mean range of tide is 9.7 feet.
