LOW-LEVEL LIGHT ON PENCARROW POINT, EASTERN SIDE OF ENTRANCE TO PORT NICHOLSON.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 25th September, 1906.

NOTICE is hereby given that a low-level lighthouse on Pencarrow Point, 610 ft. S. 59° W. of Pencarrow Lighthouse, on eastern side of entrance to Port Nicholson, has been established. A large rock standing on the shore about a chain from high-water mark has been encased in concrete, and forms a base upon which is erected an open-work iron structure carrying the light. From the bottom of the base to the top of the lantern is 36 ft., and the whole erection is painted white.

The light will be 32 ft. above sea-level at high water, and is a Wigham patent three-wick lamp. It will show a fixed white light seaward over an arc of the horizon of about 85° between the bearings of N. 65° E. and N. 20° W., cutting seven cables off Sinclair Head and seven cables off Baring Head respectively; a red arc between N. 65° E. and S. 16° E. over Chaffer’s Passage and Barrett’s Reef; and white again in the fairway between S. 16° E. and S. 8° E., cutting just inside Steeple Rock buoy and the buoy on the eastern shore extension of Hope Shoal: this gives a white segment of 8° in width in the fairway leading clear of all buoys.

The light should be visible in clear weather at a distance of about ten miles, and will be lighted on and after the night of Wednesday, the 10th October, 1906.
