The original data was created as follows: The raster nautical charts were first reprojected from their original projection/datum to UTM Zone 4, Old Hawaiian using NOAA's Nautical Chart Reprojector v1.8.3. NOAA's ArcView ChartViewer extension was used to display the reprojected nautical charts in ArcView v3.2. Objects were then digitized off the individual nautical charts and merged into a single dataset/shapefile which covers the entire state. The dataset was then transformed to UTM Zone 4, NAD 83, to adhere to new project requirements, using the Hawaii Datums and Projections extension in ArcView. Completed December, 2002.
