REFERRING to Notice to Mariners No. 2, dated 21st August, 1907, and previous notices relating to the wrecked steamer “Easby” in Gabo Harbour, mariners are hereby notified that most of the remains of such wreck are now under water, forming an obstruction to the entrance for small craft to the inner anchorage of the harbour, which may be approached by channels on either side of the wreck. The position of the wreck is marked at the stern, to seaward of the obstruction, by a buoy, and at the stem by visible wreckage, the intervening space being closed against navigation. The stem of the wreck is 144 ft. from the jetty.

When entering to the inner anchorage by night, mariners should steer on a south 57 deg. 20 min. east bearing towards the red light on the outer end of the jetty until within about 100 ft. thereof, then round up to an anchorage in line with the jetty.

It is also hereby notified that on or about the 1st December next the red light on the outer end of the jetty will be discontinued, and there will be established a red light and a white light at a higher elevation beyond on lamp-posts on the shore at the head of the bay, at positions such that the channel on the southern side of the wreck may be navigated by keeping the said two lights in line bearing S. 75 deg. E. until in line with the pier, where an anchorage may be found in about 9 ft. of water.
