Directions.

By Day: After passing the Fairway Buoy steer about S.S.W., keeping two white triangular beacons, which are erected on the masts on which the leading-lights are exhibited, in line, which will carry in mid-cutting until within a ship’s length of the outer leading-light mast; then steer mid-stream until abreast the wharves, when a vessel may anchor in mid-channel in 4 to 5 fathoms of water.

By Night: Two white leading-lights and one red light are exhibited, which enable vessels to enter the port, and reach the wharves by night. The back light is at an elevation of 96ft., and the front light of 37ft., above high water, and are at a distance apart of 5,000ft. The red light, which is at the wharves, is distant half a mile above the outer white light. When making for the Fairway Buoy the two leading-lights will be seen, which, when brought in line, will bear about S.S.W., and will lead in mid-cutting. Steer with the lights in line to within one to two ships’ lengths of the outer light, when haul more to the eastward, keeping the red light, which is placed on the outer end of Burns, Philp, and Company’s wharf, on the starboard hand. When abreast of the red light a vessel may anchor in from 4 to 5 fathoms.

The old channel is still marked by seven black beacons on the port hand, and seven red beacons on the starboard hand. A tide-gauge, showing the depth of water in the cutting, is placed on the outer pile marking the eastern side of the cutting.
