ALTERATIONS IN LIGHTS AT SHORTLAND’S BLUFF.

THE accompanying Notice to Mariners respecting the New Lights at Shortland’s Bluff, is published for the information of Navigators and others.

Commissioner of Trade and Customs.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

PORT PHILLIP HEADS LIGHTS.

In accordance with a notice to mariners, dated 17th of April 1862, navigators are hereby informed that on and after the evening of the 19th February next, a fixed Light, upon the dioptric principle, will be exhibited from each of the two towers recently built at Shortland’s Bluff, close to and on the same line of bearing from each other as the two old towers, namely N. 88 deg. E., and S. 88 deg. W., and distant from each other one thousand and fifty-six feet. On the exhibition of the new lights the present lights will be extinguished, and the old towers removed as speedily as possible.

HIGH LIGHTHOUSE.

Fixed Bright White Light.

The new high lighthouse will, like the present one, exhibit a fixed bright white light between sunset and sunrise, and be visible from seaward to vessels in the offing from about E. by N. to N., but vessels close in with the Lonsdale land will not see the light except from N.E. by E. to N.

The light will be visible within the heads from S.W. by W. to about N.E. by E., i.e., from the Swanspit Lighthouse round southerly to Lonsdale Bight.

The tower is built of bluestone, and will remain its natural color. The centre of the light will be one hundred and thirty (130) feet above high-water level, and be visible at a distance of seventeen miles, allowing ten feet for the height of the eye, and at lesser distances according to the state of the atmosphere.

The attention of navigators is called to the fact of the new light being twenty feet higher than the present one, and of greater intensity, it will therefore show further seaward and into the Barwon Bight than the latter did.

The alteration made in the new high lighthouse from the old high lighthouse consists in a change of color from white to grey, greater intensity of light and range in an E. and W. direction.
