Notice to Mariners, No. 32 of 1887.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 7th September, 1887.

THE following Notice to Mariners, received from the Department of Ports and Harbours, Melbourne, is published for general information.

P. A. BUCKLEY,
(For the Minister having charge of the Marine Department.)

PORT PHILLIP BAY.

THE attention of masters of vessels, pilots, and others is directed to the following alterations in connection with the lights and fog-signal stations in Port Phillip Bay, and which will take effect from the respective dates mentioned :—

New Swan Spit Light-vessel.

Referring to notice dated the 5th January, 1882, it is now notified that, on and after the 12th September, 1887, the present Swan Spit Lightship, exhibiting two red lights, will be removed, and will be replaced by a new iron circular light-vessel, which will be moored in the same position, and from which will be exhibited one light.

The hull of the new vessel is 36ft. in diameter, painted red, and is surmounted by a round iron tower, painted white.

The light will be a fourth-order fixed red light, with a dioptric illuminating apparatus, elevated 38ft. above the sea-level, and will be visible all round in clear weather at a distance of eight nautical miles.

Fog-signals : During thick and foggy weather warning-signals will be given therefrom every five minutes, i.e., by alternately sounding a gong with a bell.

South Channel Pile Light.

Adverting to notice dated the 13th May, 1874, it is hereby notified that, on and after the 8th September, 1887, a ray of white light will be exhibited from the South Channel Pile Lighthouse, and the centre of such “ ray ” will show over No. 15 Buoy, situate at the eastern entrance to the South Channel.

The existing red and white cuttings of the Pile Light remain unaltered, but the additional white sector will be visible, when approaching thereto, on the following bearings, viz., W. by S. ¼ S. to W. ½ S. (magnetic), and is established for the purpose of enabling pilots and masters of vessels when nearing the eastern entrance to the South Channel from Melbourne or Geelong to ascertain the position of the Pile Lighthouse earlier than heretofore, and, consequently, to proceed with greater confidence towards the eastern or shore light, until the red sector of the Pile Light is sighted.

The sailing directions for the South Channel remain unaltered.

Gellibrand Point Lightship.

Fog-signals.

Referring to notice to mariners dated the 22nd June, 1878, notice is hereby given that, on and after the 3rd September, 1887, a system of fog-signals will be established on board the Gellibrand Lightship, in lieu of those now authorised.

During thick and foggy weather warning-signals will be given therefrom at intervals of five minutes, by alternately exploding one rocket and sounding the present aurora fog-horn.

Warning.

The rockets explode at a height of about 600ft. above the sea-level, producing at the same time a sharp report, which should be heard under favourable atmospheric conditions at a distance of from five to six miles; but circumstances may arise to prevent even the most powerful sound-signal from being heard two miles distant; therefore, when the rocket-signal is heard, it should be assumed that the source of the sound is not more than from one to one and a half miles distant, and the necessary precautions taken accordingly.

Engineer in Charge, Ports and Harbours.
