SPECIAL SIGNALS AND LIGHTS DISPLAYED BY BRITISH SEINE-NET FISHING VESSELS.

NOTICE is given that the following signals have been agreed upon by the Fishing Industry for the use of British seine-net fishing-vessels, when actually fishing with seine nets, for the purpose of protecting their gear from injury by other vessels:—

By Day.—One black ball, basket or shape, in the fore part of the vessel as near to the stem as possible, not less than 10 ft. (3m0) above the rail.

One black triangle apex upwards on the yardarm on the mizzen mast on the side from which the net is being operated.

By Night.—Three white lights in a triangle, the sides of which are approximately 2½ ft. (0m7), apex upwards from the yard on the side of the vessel from which the gear is leading. The signal is to be used in conjunction with the side lights when running the gear and without the side lights when hauling the gear.

Sound Signal.—Two long and one short blasts on the whistle when being approached by other vessels.

When a vessel of this description is at anchor at night and not working gear the usual anchor lights as prescribed by Article 9 of the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1910, will be shown, and no other lights should be exhibited.

The above signals will indicate that a vessel is engaged in fishing with a seine net, in order that other vessels approaching may give the seine-net vessel a wide berth.

The area covered by the nets and warps may be as much as a square mile in extent.
