I came across another good description of "Dangerous Ground" I thought I'd add here for reference:

This area has been indicated on ship charts for centuries as "Dangerous Ground." The area is so named because of the hazardous shoals in the area, including hidden submerged rocks, sandbanks, and coral reefs, often so numerous that ships steam into dead-end cul-de-sacs, and then have to back away and attempt to find another route through. They are so abundant - and some of the hazards shift so frequently in rough seas and frequent storms - that no chart can accurately depict them. - War Beneath The Waves by Don Keith
