A CHART OF CARNARVON BAR » vn HARBOUR. ItireclioM for Snips and Vessels sailing mn, Car- narvon Harbour, over the liar. In order to facilitate the navigation of this Har- bour, two Baoys are placed on the Bar, the outer one is painted black, and the hitler red; a Percli is also erected 00 the Rank, called the Muscle Bank. LLti NIHnVYN Point lies about 2 miles distance from the black Buoy, (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. oirec- tion. DINAS DrNLLB lies from threes or from that to three and a half miles distance from the black Buoy, in a S. 15. 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 miles distance from the Perch, 4 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 Percli 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 Jeet-neapditto from- 6 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 annually—it is a most conve- nient place for repairing of old vessels—there is an extensive trade carried on iu the exportation of shde (of the best quaiity) Hnd other articles, if most parts of the United Kingdom of GreaS Britain and Ireland, and consists of convcnlent quays and wharfs, for the reception and safety of ships and vessels loading and unloading, or lying; within the limits of this port. The Trustees of this Harbour have expended from four to five hundred pounds in blasting soum of the rocks at the Swillies, to low water i-tiark. 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. Ú::rr The north and south banks of (his Bar are subject to shift—when they do shift, or the Buoys part. Irom their mooring: proper care will be taken to moor Buoys in the deep, as at present, and the true bearings, distances, &c. of then!, in- serted in this paper
