NOTICE TO MARINERS, PILOTS, AND OTHERS.
No. 11 of 1888.
GULF OF ST. VINCENT.
PORT ADELAIDE RIVER.
Notice is hereby given, that the deepening operations have been so far completed that a depth of not less than 20 feet, at ordinary low water, or 28 feet at ordinary high water, spring tides, will now be found in the channel of the Port Adelaide River, from the anchorage to the wharves.
To keep
The first cutting, through what is known as the Outer Bar, is 250 feet wide, and 22 feet deep at low water. in the centre of this cutting, No. 12 Beacon and the Leading Light Beacon should be kept in line, until about one and a half cables past the Reflecting Beacon.
The next cutting commences about mid-way between Nos. 11 and 10 Light Beacons, and continues 250 feet wide and 20 feet deep, at low water, until abreast of No. 8 Light Beacon (Schnapper Point). It then gradually widens to 450 feet abreast of the No. 7 Light Beacon, decreases to 250 feet abreast of No. 6 Light Beacon, and continues the same width and depth to the north end of the Coalshed Creek Wharf, with the exception of immediately opposite Nos. 3 and 2 Light Beacons, where the channel is 300 feet wide.
Opposite the Government Coalshed Creek Wharf the channel has been widened to 550 feet, with not less than 21 feet at low water. Alongside this wharf, for à distance of 1,650 feet by 100 feet wide, a depth of 24 feet at low water has been provided.
From the Coalshed Wharf to the Jervois Bridge the channel varies in width from 300 feet to 450 feet, with a depth of 20 and 21 feet at low water.
The widths mentioned refer to the deep water channel, the River itself being, of course, much wider.
The mid-channel course, between Nos. 2 and 3 Light Beacous, may be obtained by keeping in line two Black Leading Beacons, with V-shaped heads, on Torrens Island.
The charmel throughout is marked by Red Buoys and Light Beacons on the starboard hand, and Black Buoys on the port hand coming in, except where Leading Beacons are provided.
