A CHART OF CARN ARVON BAR AND HARBOUR. Directions for Ships arid Vessels sailing iiitu iai,- narvon Harbour, over the Bar. In order to facilitate the navigation of this Har- bour, two Buoys are placed cn the Bar, the outer one is painted black, and the inner red; a Perch is also erected on the Bank, calied the Muscle Bank. LLh NDOVlYN Point lies about 2 miles distance from the black Buoy, (which is moored in iheen- tra ice of the Bar. in about 15 feet water, at low- water, average spring tides) in a N. by E direc- tion. DnJAs BINLI.13 lies from three, or from that to three and a half miles distance Iron; the biacii Buoy, in a S. E. direction. The blicli Buoy lies about one mile distance from the red Buoy, in a S. W. direction. The red Buoy nes about two, or from that to two and a quarter miles distance from the Perch in a W. by N. direction. The Perch! ies near one iniie distance from Abermenai. in a west direc- tion, where ships and ves;cismay anchor in safety. Masters of vessels, drawing 12 feet water and upwards, should not (ill a gale of wind) approacll this Bar until four hours flood. A II vessels coming in, should leave the Perch on the larboard hand. Hi-rh water at full and change, at a quarter af- ter nine o'clock—average spring tides ri-c and fall on the Bar from 16 to IS feet—neap ditto front 6 to 8 feet. Expert Pilots may always be had on making the proper signal. This Harbour has been lately considerably en- larged and improved, a great number of Jarge ves- sets are bui I there aiinually-it is a most conve- nient place for repairing of old vessels—there is an extensive trade carried on in the exportation of slates (of the best quality) and other articles, to most parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and consists of convenient quays and wharf's, for the reception and safety of ships and vessels loading and unloading, or lying within the limns of this port. The Trustees of this Harbour have expended from four to five hundred pounds in blasting some of the rocks ai the Swillies, to low water irizti, kll. which has rendered a most free passage for ships and vessels of large burthen, com ins; from the eas'ward to this Harbour, or sailing through the Strains of Menai. The north and south banks of this Bar-are subject 10 shlft-whcn they do shif', or the Buoys parr from their moorings, proper caie will be taken to moor Buoys in the deep, as at present, and the true bearings, distances, &c. ot liiem, in- serted in this paper
