What will be the direction and velocity of the tidal current at Provincetown Harbor, MA, at 1405 DST (ZD +4) on 5 May 1983?

Correct Answer: Option C — 0.4 knot at 315°T

Using NOS Tidal Current Tables, extract the reference station predictions, apply the time meridian and Daylight Saving Time corrections, and utilize the strength-of-current tables to compute both the direction and exact velocity for the specified local time.
