Notice to Mariners No. 58 of 1905.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 28th July, 1905.

THE following Notice to Mariners, received from the Marine Board Offices, Port Adelaide, South Australia; is published for general information.

WM. HALL-JONES.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Gulf St. Vincent.—Port Adelaide River.

REFERRING to previous Notices to Mariners, and especially to Nos. 11 of 1904 and 12 and 18 of 1905, masters of vessels, pilots, and others are hereby informed that deepening opera-

tions in the vicinity necessitate the removal of No. 2 light-beacon, and that on and after the 1st July next, a red light in lieu thereof will be exhibited from the red pile beacon south of No. 3. This light on with No. 4 will point out when to turn off No. 2 lead (two red lights) and direct the course towards No. 3 light-beacon. It should be noted that the numbers of the outer leads have been altered.

The positions of all the above lights, as well as those supplied by the Light’s Passage harbour contractors, are shown on amended chart obtainable at these offices.

SAILING DIRECTIONS.

BY NIGHT.—In approaching the anchorage vessels of deep draught should not bring the white light on the old structure to bear north of N.E. by E. in order to avoid the four-fathom patch, which bears N.W. ½ N. from the light on Wonga Shoal; then get No. 1 lead (which consists of two red lights vertical 7 ft. apart and two white lights vertical 7 ft. apart) in line; keep these in line passing between the occulting light on the red buoy and the outer green light on the north bank, also between the other green lights on the north bank and the white lights on the revetment mound.

Steer on the same line until the two red lights of No. 2 lead are coming on; then steer with them on line until the red light south of No. 3 beacon is on with No. 4; then direct the course to pass a safe distance off No. 3; then steer for a like distance off No. 4, and so on from beacon to beacon round the point until No. 9 is reached. From a safe distance off No. 9 the lights of No. 10 lead will be seen; keep them in line until the red light is about a quarter of a point open to the right of the white light of No. 11 lead; then gradually alter the course to bring the lights of No. 11 lead in line; keep them in line (a sharp lookout being kept for the mooring-buys on the starboard hand) until the lights of No. 12 lead are seen coming into line; proceed as before by altering the course before the lights are on with each other. The same applies in the change from No. 12 to No. 13 leads; when the lights on the wharves are seen opening out of Luff Point, alter the course so as to round the point at a safe distance, and then up the centre of the channel, looking out for the mooring-buys on the starboard hand.

BY DAY.—The directions by day are the same as by night, merely substituting the beacons for the lights.

In going outwards the directions are just the opposite to those given for coming inwards; but in such case, in changing from one lead to another, the course should be gradually altered when abreast of the low (red) beacon of each lead, excepting No. 2 lead. In this case, when abreast of No. 3 beacon, gradually alter the course to bring the light of No. 4 beacon between the light of No. 3 beacon and the red light on the beacon south of it until the two red lights of No. 2 lead are coming in line, then bring the red light on with No. 4 beacon, and proceed outwards with No. 2 lead in line.

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.

This affects Admiralty Charts 2389 A and B, 1750, and 1752.
