Tide gauge benchmarksNOS benchmark disk stamped '1 1989' set in concrete sea wall of the dockat Kings Wharf near the Ports Authority Office Building.
Benchmark relationshipsTGBM = 8.89 feet above mean lower low water (1960-1978 epoch) TGBM = 6.64 feet above mean sea level (1960-1978 epoch) TGBM = 4.71 feet above mean high water (1960-1978 epoch)
Auxiliary benchmarks2 1989 Screw 6 unstamped 3 1989 Screw 7 unstamped 4 1989 Screw 8 unstamped 5 1989 1-TG unstamped: brass screw inset in triangle 2ft S of tide house and 1.5 ft from edge of wharf
Other relevant informationA gauge was maintained on behalf of the TOGA Sea Level Center until it was withdrawn in May 1989 (PSMSL Code 742/013 1975-1989). A gauge at Kings Wharf was destroyed in Nov 1983 and the station was relocated to Walu Bay Naval Facility (operated by Univ. Hawaii). There was an overlap of 3 months with the new NOAA gauge and the Walu gauge. PSMSL also hold data from another gauge (PSMSL Code 742/011 1960-1961,1964). NTF took over the gauge from NOAA in November 1997.
