Notice to Mariners No. 60 of 1924.

MANUKAU HARBOUR.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 5th September, 1924.

Bar Channel altered in Depth and Direction, and Leading Beacons altered.

REFERRING to Notice to Mariners No. 37 of 1924, the Auckland Harbour Board notify that a recent re-examination of the Manukau Bar showed that the channel had moved three-quarters of a mile (approx.) to the southward of the channel of 1921, and that the front and rear bar leading beacons are being adjusted to suit the new channel direction.
On and after the evening of the 9th September, 1924, the existing front bar leading beacon will be moved to a new position, and the use of the flagstaff as the rear bar leading beacon will be discontinued, and in lieu of which the rear bar leading beacon will be a small white-painted hut situated on the extreme north-west corner of the flagstaff-platform. The new line of bar leading beacons, in transit bearing 062°, will lead across the bar through the newly formed channel in a least depth of 22½ ft. at M.L.W.S.
Directions.—After crossing the bar inwards the course should be altered promptly when the Destruction Gully Beacon is in line with the edge of Paratutai, otherwise the edge of the main or middle bank may become dangerously close. Strict attention by vessels should be paid to the semaphore when proceeding inwards or outwards.
