Town of Annapolis Royal

Annapolis Royal (44°45'N., 65°31'W.) has several wharves which dry alongside at LW. A causeway and dam cross the river close above Annapolis Royal. The public wharf, which dries, is 117m long; vessels up to 110m long, with a maximum draft of 10.3m, can be accommodated. Vessels may anchor about 1 mile below the town, in a depth of about 11m; however, because of the tidal eddies, it is a
poor anchorage.

Caution.—Changes in currents in the Annapolis River may occur without notice due to the operation of turbines and sluice gates at the hydroelectric power plant at Annapolis Royal. Off the power station, a current of up to 4 knots can be expected.
