NOTICE TO MARINERS.
No. 6 of 1896.
69
GULF OF ST. VINCENT.
PORT ADELAIDE RIVER.
Notice is hereby given that on or about February 1st, 1897, the Port Adelaide River will be Lighted by Electricity, in consequence of which, the whole system of Buoys and Light Beacons will be re-arranged.
Light Beacons Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the present system will be discontinued.
All Buoys marking the Channel will be removed, except the two outside of the Lighthouse, two black Buoys near the Old Boat Channel, and the two Mooring Buoys (for vessels with explosives) in Lipson Reach.
The new system will consist of (5) five pairs of leading lights, and (8) eight single light Beacons.
The pairs of leading lights and single light Beacons will in future be numbered from seaward, instead of in the opposito way, as at present-that is to say-No. 12 and the light behind it of the old system, will be No. 1 of the new, and so on.
The near light of each lead will be red, and the far one white, except in the case of No. 1 lead, where the far light will be red, as at present, and the near one white; these two have not been altered--because the red light of No. 1 on with No. 2 is an established lead over the Ocean Steamers' Mooring Buoy; and the white light of No. I on with No. 2 leads over the Bell Buoy on Wonga Shoal.
The two lights of No. 1 lead through the Outer Cutting near the Lighthouse, as at present.
The single lights, Nos. 2 to 9 inclusive, will mark the edge of the Channel from opposite the Old Boat Channel to Mutton Cove.
Nos. 10, 11, 12, and 13 are leads, i.e., pairs.
No. 10 is placed on the shore, abreast of the two Mooring Buoys for vessels with explosives, and leads from Mutton Cove half way up Lipson Reach.
No. 11 is place near the Torpedo Station, and leads up the other half of Lipson Reach to the North Arm. No. 12 is placed on the Swamp south of the False Arm, and leads from the North Arm to the False Arm. No. 13 is placed on Snowden Bench, and leads from the False Arm to Luff Point.
Sailing directions, and further notice as to the exact late of the alterations, will be issued in due course. This affects Charts Nos. 2389 A. and B., Plan 1750.
