“Entrance Channels.—The new N.E. entrance channel, running along the western side of the bank extending from Taiaroa Head, is defined by two lighted leading beacons bearing 2043⁄4°, and has a least depth of 35 ft.

Then proceed towards Port Chalmers or Dunedin, leaving the red beacons on the starboard hand and the black beacons on the port hand.

“Old N.W. Channel.—When about 2 M. from Taiaroa Head, ships should enter to the westward of the line of the two unlighted beacons bearing 165½°, as at present this line defines the eastern edge of the channel, and when about 3 to 4 cables from the Mole end should cross the line of leads to the eastward to make the entrance between the Mole and Taiaroa Head, passing about half a cable off the end of the North Mole (see sailing course on plan).
