NOTICE TO MARINERS.
French Pass, Cook’s Strait.
Chief Marine Board Office,
Nelson, 16th March, 1863.
An Iron Perch, 6 ft. above high water mark, has been erected on the extreme end of the reef in the French Pass leaving a clear channel of 117 yards between it and the eastern shore, and a Buoy, painted white, has been placed on the eastern edge of Shell Bank in 2½ fathoms at low water spring tides, with the following bearings and distances:—
Rock Cod Point, E. ¼ N...1½ cables;
the Iron Perch, N.E. by N...2¼ cables.
Masters of vessels going through should take it with either a fair tide or at slack water, and in going from the southward should leave the Buoy and Perch on the port hand, and from the northward vice versa, in both instances taking a middle channel course.
Strangers before approaching the narrows should make themselves perfectly acquainted with the relative positions of the above as the tides are strong, leaving too little time for taking bearings, and should not attempt going through after dark.
The French Pass can only be recommended for steamers and small coasters.
The bearings are magnetic.
R. JOHNSON,
Warden.
