A CHART OF CARN A RVON BAR AND HARBOUR. Directions for Ships and Vessels sailing into Oar- narvon Harbour, over the Bar. In order to facilitate the navigation oftliis Har- bour, two Buoys are placed on the Bar, the outer one is painted black, arid the inner red; a Perch is also erected on the Bank, called the Muscle Bank. LLANDowvN Point lies about 2 miles distance from the black Buo), (which is moored in the en- trance of the Bar, in about 15 feet water, at low water, average spring tides) in a N. by E, direc- tion. DIN AS DIKLLE lies from three, or from that I to three and a half mites distance from the black Buoy, in a S. E. direction. The black Buoy lies about one mile distance from the red Buoy, in a S. W. direction. The red Buoy lies about two, or from that to two and a quarter miies distance from the Perch, in a W. by N, direction. The Perch lies near one mile distance from Abermenai, in a west direc- tion, where ships and vessels may anchor in safety. Masters of vessels, drawing 12 feet water and upwards, should not (in a gale of wind) approach this Bar until four hours flood. All vessels coming in, should leave the Perch on the larboard hand. High water at full and change, at a. quarter af- ter nine o'clock—average spring tides rise and fall on the Bar from 16 to 18 feet—neap ditto from 16 to 8 feet. Expert Pilots may always be had on making the proper signal. This Harbour has been lately considerably en- larged and improved, a great number of large ves- sels are built here annuaHy-it is a most conve- nient place for repairing of old vessels-there is an extensive trade carried on in the exportation of slates (of the best quality) and other articles, to most parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and consists of convenient quays and wharfs, for the reception and safety of ships and vessels loading and unloading, or Jying; within the limits of this port. The Trustees of this Harbour have expended from four to five hundred pounds in blasting some of the rocks at the Swillies, to low water mark which has rendered a most free passage for ships and vessels of large burthen, coming from the eastward to this Harbour, or sailing through the Straits of Menai. (J::1r The north and south banks of this Bar are subject to shift—when they do shift, or the Buoys part from their moorings, proper care will be taken to moor Buoys in the deep, as at present, and the true hearings, distances, &c. of them, in- serted in this paper
