Notice to Mariners No. 13 of 1926.

DOMINION OF NEW ZEALAND.—CHATHAM ISLANDS.—PETRE BAY.—WAITANGI.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 29th March, 1926.

Light installed on Wireless Tower.

INFORMATION is hereby given that a fixed white light, unwatched, height 300 ft. (approx.), visible 6 miles, is exhibited at the steel-lattice wireless-tower situated near Waitangi. The light, which is electric, 160 c.p., is elevated 88 ft. above ground; and is visible to vessels approaching Waitangi from seaward.

Attention is drawn to the position of the steel-lattice wireless-tower, which, on Admiralty Chart No. 1417 (corrected to 1923) should be latitude 43° 57·5′ south; longitude 176° 32·2′ west; whereas a recent (1924) determination of its position places it at latitude 43° 57′ 27·7″ south, longitude 176° 34′ 25·3″ west; the latter position, which was determined by this Dominion’s Department of Lands and Survey, may be accepted as precise.
