Obstruction to Navigation.
It is hereby notified for the information of Masters of all vessels that on and after 15th July, 1927, and until further notice dredging operations will be carried out in the vicinity of Belcher Ridge and Rambler Shoal.
Three timber dolphins marked by red flags by day and red fixed lights by night will be constructed to the southward of Rambler Shoal and will form a danger to naviga- tion.
Masters of all vessels are warned to proceed dead slow when approaching and pass- ing this area and must pass well to the northward of the most northly point of Belcher Ridge or to the southward of the dolphins aforementioned. They are asked particularly to refrain from attempting to cross between these dolphins.
This notice in no way cancels that issued on the 27th May, 1927, regarding dredging at Penguin Shoal. Masters of vessels are again cautioned to observe and comply with that warning and to refrain from crossing between the dolphins now erected on Penguin Shoals.
