Notice to Mariners No. 71 of 1901.

MANUKAU HARBOUR LEADING-LIGHTS FOR MAIN CHANNEL.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 1st November, 1901.

NOTICE is hereby given that a lighthouse has been erected on a bluff on the north side of the harbour-entrance 120 yards S. 41° E. of the front South Channel leading-beacon, from which, at an elevation of 70 ft. above high water, will be exhibited, on and after Monday, the 9th December, 1901, a white light from N. 30° E. to N. 23° E., and a green light from N. 23° E. to N., which should be seen in clear weather a distance of ten miles. The light is cut off to the westward by Paratutai. The white light bearing N. 27° E. leads up the centre of the channel, with a least depth of 24 ft. at L.W. springs.

The house, which is 8 ft. by 8 ft., and 11 ft. in height to roof, is painted white on the front side facing the channel, and brown on the other side.

Vessels entering the channel from the southward should open the white light till it bears N. 28° E., just open of Paratutai, and steer in on that course, passing Paratutai from half a cable to a cable distant, then steer straight up the harbour for Puponga. Vessels from the northward should haul up for the light as soon as it opens out on that bearing.

In the daytime vessels will be guided in by the semaphore as usual. As tides in this channel are very strong, care should be taken in keeping the light on its bearing, the ebb-tide setting to the northward through the Swatchway round the Ninepin, and the flood-tide setting through to the southward.

Charts, &c., affected: Nos. 2543 and 2726; “New Zealand Pilot,” 7th ed., chap. vii., p. 250.
