AUCKLAND HARBOUR.

Light on Bean Rocks, and Beacon on Bastion Reefs.

Notice is hereby given, that since the 1st December last, a fixed Red, White, and Green Light, of the 5th Order Dioptric, has been exhibited between sunset and sunrise from a Lighthouse erected on the Bean Rocks.

The Lighthouse is an open-framed structure, surmounted by keeper’s dwelling and lantern, painted White, and elevated 50 feet above high water level. The Light will be seen in clear weather at a distance of ten nautical miles, allowing ten feet for the height of the observer’s eye, and will show Red, White, and Green, respectively, between the following bearings, all of which are given towards the light, viz.:

• Red—Between the bearings of W. ½ S. and S.W. by W. ¼ W.; that is, red in the Tehmaki Strait, and on the south side of Koreho Channel, covering the reef north of Koreho Island.

• White—Between the bearings of S.W. by W. ¼ W. and S.W. ¼ W.; i.e., white in the fairway of Koreho Channel and the south-eastern side of Hieh Channel.

• Green—Between the bearings of S.W. ¼ W. and S.S.E. ½ E.; i.e., green on the north-western side of the Koreho, and Hieh Channels, and on the eastern side of Rangitoto Channel, covering Rangitoto reef.

• White—Between the bearings of S.S.E. ½ E. and S.E. ½ S.; i.e., white in the fairway of Rangitoto Channel.

• Red—Between the bearings of S.E. ½ S. and E. by N. ½ N.; i.e., red on the western shore of Rangitoto Channel covering the Rough Rock, and on the northern shore of the Harbour covering the Sandspit Buoy and Depot Point.

• White—Between the bearings of E. by N. ½ N. and N.E. ½ E.; i.e., white in the fairway of the Harbour, and over it southern shore above Orakior Hobson’s Bay.

There will be no light visible south of the Lighthouse, between the bearings of N.E. ½ E. and W. ½ S.; i.e southward of a line drawn from Resolution Point to the Lighthouse, and thence to East Tehmaki Head.

Vessels entering Auckland Harbour by the North or Rangitoto Channel should make the white light, steering in on this line of light until the summit of the North Head bears S.W., then keep away south across the red into the white (harbour) fairway light, bringing the three white lights (in a triangle) on Queen Street Wharf to bear S.W. by W. ¼ W., which will lead up the Harbour to the usual anchorage ground below the Wharf.

Vessels having to work in should not enter on the green light when near Rangitoto reef, i.e., when the peak of Rangitoto bears E. ¼ N., nor on the red when the Flagstaff on the summit of Mount Victoria bears S.W. ¼ W., as they will on this latter bearing be in the vicinity of the Rough Rock; they must also keep well in the white light when passing the Sandspit Buoy and Depot Point.

Vessels entering by the Tehmaki Strait will see the red light over the low southern part of Koreho Island, and, taking care not to approach within one mile of the Island, pass through the red into the white fairway light of Koreho Channel; then steer so as to pass about two cables length N.W. of the Lighthouse, crossing the coloured lights of the Rangitoto Channel into the white harbour fairway light, and for the anchorage as before described.

Vessels entering by the Hieh Channel will keep on the line (S.W. ¼ W.) intersecting the green and white lights, edging away into the white in passing the N.W. extreme of Hieh Island, and thence up the Koreho Channel and into the Harbour as before described.

Beacon on Bastion Reefs.

Notice is hereby given, that the Beacon hitherto marking the position of the Bean rocks is now erected on the north-eastern extreme of the Bastion Reefs, and from it the Lighthouse bears N.W., distant three cables.

Note.

All bearings are magnetic, and are given towards the light.
