The following is the description and position of the buoys marking the bank, viz. :

No. 1 Buoy.—A large conical iron buoy, painted red, marks the extreme S.E. end of the middle bank. It is moored in 24 ft. of water at M.L.W.S., the east end of the Railway Wharf bearing 180° (S. 18° E. magnetic). The west end of the wharf bears 260° (S. 62° W. magnetic), and distant from the face of the wharf 320 yards. The local marks for this buoy are the middle bank beacons in line and the back red leading-light tower in line with the south end of the Quarantine Station building.

No. 2 Buoy.—A small red cask buoy, surmounted by a staff 3 ft. high, carrying a diamond shape, is moored near the south edge of the bank in 23 ft. of water M.L.S.W., the east end of the wharf bearing 155° (S. 43° E. magnetic) and the west end of the wharf 242° (S. 44° W. magnetic), and distant from the face of the wharf 300 yards.

A line drawn through the position of these two buoys extending westward, and the west end of the wharf bearing 208° (S. 10° W. magnetic), defines the south side of the middle bank, giving a depth of water of not less than 22 ft. at M.L.W.S. between that line and the northern face of the wharf.
