UNCHARTED ROCKS ON THE WEST COAST OF SOUTH ISLAND,
BETWEEN BRUCE BAY AND JACKSON’S BAY.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 6th February, 1907.

CAPTAIN BOLLONS, of the Government s.s. “Hinemoa,” reports the following uncharted rocks between
Bruce Bay and Jackson’s Bay on the west coast of the
South Island:—
(1.) A rock, which dries 4 ft. (low water, ordinary springs),
lies N. 62° E. of N.E. point of Taumaki Island (or Open Bay
Island), distant half a mile.
(2.) A rock, which is awash at L.W.O.S., lies N. 48° E. of
N.E. point of Taumaki Island, distant 1·7 miles. This is an
extremely dangerous rock, as it is in the line of course that
any one might take if navigating only by the chart. A clear
passage exists south of Taumaki Island, and is always used
by the Government steamers.
(3.) The Alhambra Rock lies one-third of a mile south of
the charted position relative to the Haast River entrance.
(4.) A rock, which only breaks at L.W. and with a heavy
sea, lies off of the Oinemaka River entrance, with the N.W.
side of Hanata Island and Tititira Head in line S. 48° W.,
and Oinemaka River entrance S. 32° E., distant one mile.
Charts, &c., affected: Admiralty Chart No. 2590, sheet
