  Description:
    Abstract:
    Purpose:
    Supplemental_Information:
      The source file hinad27fathoms.txt, contains a concatenated
      data set collected before 1984 from a variety of methods,
      including depth finders, lead lines, Echo Sounding, etc. that were
      referenced to the NAD27 datum and whose original depths
      were recorded in fathoms but are now in meters, and the horizontal 
      positioning accuracy is unknown..
      The data within main hawaiian islands are transformed from
      the reference of NAD27 to NAD83. The projection is geographic, 
      the units are decimal degrees.
