GULF ST. VINCENT.-SEMAPHORE ANCHORAGE.
SUNKEN WRECKS OF “NORMA" AND "JESSIE DARLING ”. Referring to Notice to Mariners No. 1 of 1907, Masters of Vessels, Pilots, and others are hereby informed that the Sunken Wrecks above mentioned are lying in a position with the Lighthouse on Wonga Shoal bearing East, distant one and a half miles, and the structure of the Old Lighthouse with fixed light bearing N.E., distant three miles approximately.
Until the obstructions are removed, or further notice is given, the S.S. Argyle will be moored to mark the danger S.S.W. 600 ft. from the Wreck, and will show the following signals:-
By Day.-Three Balls on a yard 20 ft, above the sea, two placed vertically at one end, and one at the other, the Single Ball being on the side nearest the Wreck.
By Night. Three White Lights similarly arranged, but not the ordinary riding light. In addition to the wreck-marking vessel mentioned above, a large conical-shaped Buoy painted green, with the word "WRECK” in white letters, from which is exhibited a green occulting light, will be moored close to the South side of the above-mentioned Wrecks.
During the time that the wreck-marking vessel is anchored near the Wrecks the Pilot on turn will, from sunset to sunrise, be stationed with the launch at the wreck-marking vessel, instead of at the Sigual Station, and will from there proceed to carry out his duties.
Both the marks mentioned should be given a wide berth by vessels navigating the vicinity.
This affects Admiralty Charts Nos. 1,752 and 2,389 a and B.
