or where they can best be seen, to indicate the dredger's position relative to the centre of the Channel, as under:
ONE DIAMOND: to show that the dredger is in the centre
of the Channel.
ONE BALL: to show that she is in a position to the North
of the Centre.
TWO BALLS: to show that she is in a position to the South
of the Centre.
The dredgers are usually moored with six anchors, one ahead and one astern, and two breast anchors on either side. The positions of these anchors will generally be shown by small white painted cask buoys, but as these are likely to be carried away or swept under by the current, absolute reliance cannot be placed on their always being seen. The buoys will be moored with the shortest lengths of chain practicable.
