SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING THE PORT OF INVERCARGILL.
VESSELS bound for New River should steer for the north end of Point Island, around which, to within a cable’s length, there is not less than five fathoms water. A small patch is said to exist about a quarter of a mile off in a westerly direction, but the pilots have not been able to find less than five fathoms on it, hard sand bottom. Outside the Bar in six fathoms, is moored a spiral-shaped black buoy, bearing from the north end of the Island north half a mile. Steer for this buoy, and as you approach it, the leading beacons, painted white, will come on with each other bearing from you E. ¾ S. Keep the beacons, in one, leaving the black buoy on your port hand, which will lead you over the bar in fifteen feet at low water, spring tides. The breadth of the bar is about a good cable’s length, and inside of it in four fathoms, is a spiral-shaped white buoy, marking the south side of the channel.
The course from this buoy, to about two cable’s length above the Pilot Station, is E. ¼ N., and from thence, to about four cable’s length farther up, E.
