Superintendent.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

MANUKAU HARBOUR.

A Flagstaff, with telegraphic arms, has been erected on Paratutai at the North Head, and is placed in charge of the Pilot. The arms of the Telegraph which are attached to the mast at 20 feet from the base are elevated 530 feet above the level of the sea.

When a vessel is seen approaching the Port a blue pennant will be hoisted at the head of the flagstaff, and as it will seldom be possible for the Pilot to board outside the bar the vessel will be guided through the channel by the following signals:

  • When the North arm alone is extended, the vessel must keep or tack as the wind may be, to the Northward.
  • When the South arm alone is extended the vessel must keep or tack to the Southward.
  • When both arms are extended the vessel must keep more off shore.

The following signals when necessary will be made at the head of the flagstaff:

  1. A Blue Peter—Keep to sea, the bar is unsafe.
  2. A Red Flag—Take the bar, there is no danger.
  3. A Blue Flag with White Cross—Ebb tide, wait for flood.
  4. A White Flag—Will be hoisted at the first quarter flood.

Water on Manukau bar at low water springs, 21 feet.

High water at full and change 10h. 0m.

Leading marks—The nine pin rock, the south extreme of Paratutai and the extreme of Poponga in line N. 55° E. (magnetic), lead over the bar.

Wm. Champion,
Pilot.
