Caution with regard to Sweeping Operations.

CAUTION.—H.M. vessels are frequently engaged in sweeping operations off ports in the United Kingdom.

Whilst so engaged they work in pairs, connected by a wire hawser, and are consequently hampered to a very considerable extent in their manoeuvring powers.

With a view to indicating the nature of the work on which these vessels are engaged, they will show the following signals: A black ball at the foremost-head, and a similar ball at the yardarm, or where it can be best seen, on that side on which it is dangerous for vessels to pass.

For mutual safety, other vessels, whether steamers or sailing craft, should endeavour, without violating the rule of the road, to keep out of the way of vessels flying this signal, and should especially remember that it is dangerous to pass between the vessels of a pair.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
