APPROACHES TO NELSON HARBOUR.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 30th March, 1882.

FROM recent survey of entrance to Nelson Har-
bour, it was found that the bar in the direction
of the old course had much shallowed: Notice is
therefore given that, on and after the 1st May next,
the position of the fairway and bar buoys will be
altered.

The fairway buoy will be shifted 3 cables nearer
to the lighthouse, and will be distant from it $5rac{1}{2}$
cables, with the following bearings: Lighthouse,
E. by N. (as before); Magazine, S.E. by E. $\frac{1}{2}$ E.;
Arrow Rock, S.S.E. $\frac{1}{2}$ E.

The bar buoy will be shifted a bare cable due east,
and will be off the east end of a bank in 7 feet water
at low-water springs, with the following bearings:
Lighthouse, N.E.; Magazine, E. by N. $\frac{1}{4}$ N.; Arrow
Rock, S.E. $\frac{1}{2}$ S.

Vessels bound in may pass fairway buoy on either
hand, but the bar buoy should be left on the starboard
side, as the channel lies between these buoys and the
Boulder Bank, with its narrowest part $2\frac{1}{2}$ cables
opposite the bar buoy, and with not less than 7 feet
at low-water springs, 17 feet at high-water neaps,
and 20 feet at high-water springs. A chart will
shortly be issued showing the various changes;
bearings magnetic.
