Notice to Mariners, No. 18 of 1891.

TIMARU HARBOUR LIGHTS.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 5th May, 1891.

THE Timaru Harbour Board notify that, on and after the 1st November, 1891, the following lights will be shown at the Port of Timaru:—

Harbour Light: The Timaru Lighthouse is 30ft. high, built of wood and painted white. The light is a fixed white light, of the fifth order dioptric, and will show a green sector 22° (two points) from S.S.W. to S. magnetic as viewed from seaward. It stands 85ft. above the sea-level, and, allowing 15ft. for the height of the observer’s eye, should be visible in clear weather at a distance of fourteen nautical miles.

Entrance Light to Inner Harbour on end of the Eastern Breakwater: This light will be red, visible in clear weather at a distance of five nautical miles, and viewed from seaward will show from W.N.W. to S.E. magnetic. Its height above high-water mark will be 33ft.

Entrance Light at End of North Mole: This will be a green light, 16ft. above high-water mark, visible for one mile, and viewed from seaward will show from W.N.W. to S.E. magnetic.

Sailing Directions: Masters of vessels are particularly cautioned that on nearing the port and while laying at anchor they must remain in the white light, and that if compelled to make the inner harbour they must come in on the white light until it bears S.W., and continuing on that bearing until the entrance lights are made out. After making these lights vessels should keep to the northward until the lights open sufficiently to come in, taking care not to open harbour light green. The width of the entrance is 350ft. The green sector of the harbour light will show over the “Lyttelton” wreck, distant three-quarters of a mile from entrance to inner harbour, and is intended to warn masters of vessels to keep clear of the “Lyttelton” wreck and the Ninety-mile Beach. Except in the case of vessels of small tonnage, and of those whose masters are well acquainted with the port, the attempt to enter the inner harbour by night should not be made unless a pilot is in charge. This warning is also rendered necessary as when a vessel is moored at the outer buoy it is in the fairway.

Directions for Anchoring: Vessels of large tonnage, say 800 tons register and over, must not anchor in less than seven fathoms of water, with the flagstaff bearing W.S.W.; but vessels of less tonnage may anchor on the same bearing in less water, but not within a mile of the breakwater.
