My 1962 Public Utilities Commission chart shows Nipple Rock (specifically, clearly, labelled) to be close to halfway or one third down the east side of Round Island. My recent Bizer chart does not identify Nipple Rock, although it shows rocks in the area, and a black spar near where Nipple Rock is. It also shows a red tear drop shape designating a fixed light, but it appears to go to a different rock. I don't use a GPS, but is it possible, on a GPS, that the presentation would lead you to think the light was in a different position? PUC shows one rock, Bizer shows two.
