GULF ST. VINCENT.-PORT ADELAIDE.
APPROACH TO SEMAPHORE ANCHORAGE.
NOTICE is hereby given that recent soundings show about 6in. less water on the four (4) fathom shoal than indicated by Admiralty Charts Nos. 1752 and 2389B. Masters of heavy draught vessels should, therefore, when approaching the anchorage (especially near low water), not bring the old Port Adelaide Lighthouse or the light thereon on a bearing north of N.E. by E. until the green light on the Semaphore Jerry bears S.E. or the two red lights are in line. They may then steer in and select an anchorage according to the vessel's draught.
Vessels leaving the anchorage should steer out N.W. until the above-mentioned bearings are on.
The shoal spot referred to bears from the lighthouse on Wonga Shoal N. 33° 30′ W., distant about 13 miles, and from the old structure S. 48° W., distant about 19 miles.
This affects Admiralty Charts Nos. 1752 and 23898.
