Notice to Mariners No. 59 of 1904.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 30th July, 1904.

REFERRING to Notice to Mariners No. 37 of 1904, issued by this Department on the 19th May last, the following notice, received from the Marine Board, Port Adelaide, South Australia, is published for general information.

C. H. MILLS,
Acting Minister of Marine.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Gulf of St. Vincent.—Entrance to Port Adelaide River.

REFERRING to Notices to Mariners Nos. 3, 4, and 5 of 1903, and 1, 5, and 10 of 1904, respectively, the following alterations, which have been found necessary, should be noted by masters of vessels and others:—

The lights on the beacons which originally formed No. 1 lead have been discontinued. In lieu thereof, three beacons, showing green lights, have been placed on the north bank—the first one from sea on the S.W. corner of the bank, the second near the present reflecting beacon, and the third near the square-headed black beacon.

Two light beacons (both red) have been placed on the north bank, and these, when in line, will lead through the cutting to abreast of No. 2 light beacon, and will hereafter be termed No. 1 lead.

An improved white light has been placed on the remaining portion of the structure of the old lighthouse, at a height of 45 ft., showing all round the horizon for a distance of ten miles.

The positions of all the above lights, as well as of those supplied by the Light’s Passage harbour contractors, are shown on a revised chart recently issued, copies of which may be obtained at this office free of cost.

Sailing Directions.—To enter the river, pass the occulting buoy light at a distance of 50 ft., and steer between the white light on a pile abreast of the old lighthouse and the first green light, which is placed on S.W. corner of the north bank, on a N.E. by E. course, passing the second and third green lights at a similar distance, until the new lead on the north bank (now termed No. 1 lead) comes in line. Keep them in line until abreast of No. 2, then steer for No. 3 as before.

This affects Admiralty charts Nos. 1750 and 2389 A and B.

During the progress of the work at the Light’s Passage harbour-works masters of vessels exempt from pilotage may, if they so desire, avail themselves of the services of a pilot to assist them in passing such works, either in or out, at one-half the usual rates.

If the usual exemption flag is not hoisted, it will be taken as a signal that a pilot is required. At night, if a pilot is required, the usual signal for a pilot should be shown.

N.B.—Owing to the nature of the work in progress, this notice may require to be amended from time to time, and therefore should be treated as tentative only.

President of the Marine Board.
