The charts are intended to aid the navigator in selecting the fastest and safest routes with regards to the expected weather and ocean conditions. Few sources of information are more important to offshore sailors than a pilot chart -- and they are fascinating to study even if you never go five miles from port.

Their data are the result of hundreds of years of observation by mariners. Each atlas contains a pilot chart for every month of the year.
