QUEEN CHARLOTTE SOUND.—REPORTED OBSTRUCTION.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 15th February, 1923.

THE Harbourmaster stationed at Picton reports the soundings in the passage between White Rocks and Cape Koamaru to differ somewhat from those shown on Admiralty charts of that passage; and that shoaler water exists than is shown on the charts.

Vessels entering or leaving Queen Charlotte Sound are cautioned to do so by way of the main channels only, and to avoid using the channel between White Rocks and Cape Koamaru, as, owing to the uneven nature of the bottom in this passage, undiscovered obstructions may exist.

Charts, &c., affected.—Admiralty Charts Nos. 695, 2054, 2685, and 3629; “New Zealand Pilot,” ninth edition, 1919, page 311.
