BLUFF HARBOUR.—ROCK IN FAIRWAY AT HARBOUR-ENTRANCE.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 16th October, 1911.

THE Bluff Harbour Board has notified that a dangerous patch of rock has been discovered near the fairway at the entrance to Bluff Harbour; least depth of water over it, 20 ft. low-water springs; the patch of rock is about 50 ft. long by 20 ft. wide.

It lies about 100 ft. south of the line of green and white beacon-lights, with the outer pile beacon bearing from it N. 26° E., distant 400 ft.

A notice of this rock was published in August, 1890, but as notices of blasting operations to remove it were issued in 1897 and 1904, and no trace of it was found in the “Penguin’s” survey of 1904, it was presumed that it had been entirely removed.
