Notice to Mariners, No. 27 of 1888.

ENTRANCE TO MANUKAU HARBOUR.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 30th October, 1888.

THE Harbourmaster at Manukau reports that since the
last survey of the South Channel, at the entrance to
the Manukau Harbour, by Captain Johnson, the banks have
much changed, and the charts issued in 1853 and 1878 are
no longer reliable. The Heron Spit having extended south-
ward about three quarters of a mile, the South Head Beacons
have to be brought in line on a bearing of N. by E. ¾ E. to
clear it and lead in; when abreast of the Spit a depth of 5
fathoms will be found at low-water spring-tides, gradually
shoaling to 2½ fathoms between the inner shoals, and then
again deepening to 3½ fathoms when the beacons on the
North Head are brought in line. As the line of approaches
is constantly changing, masters of vessels should pay the
greatest attention to the steering-signals shown from the
flagstaff by the pointing of the semaphore-arm, which will
guide vessels through the deepest water.
