A CHART OF CARNARVON BAR AND HARBOUR. Directions for Ships and Vessels sailing into Car- narvon Harbour, over the Bar. In order to facilitate the navigation of this Har- bour, two Buoys are placed on the Bar, the outer one is painted black, and the inner red; a Perch- is also erected ou the Bank, called the Muscle Bank. Llanddwyn Point lies about 2 miles distance from the black Buoy, (which is moored in the en- trance of the Bar, in about 15 feet water. at low water, average spring tides) in a N. by E. liirec- tiou. UlNAS DiNr,Lr, lies from three, or from that to three and a half miles distance from the black Buoy, in a S. E. direction. The black Buoy lies about one mile distance from the red Buoy, in a S. W. by S. direetion. The red Buoy lies about two, or from that to two and a quarter miles distance from the Perch, in a W. by N. direction. The,Perch lies near one mile distance from Abermenai, in a west direc- tion, where ships and vessels may anchor iu safety. Masters of vessels, drawing 12 feet water and upwards, should not (in a gale of wind) approach this Bar until four hours flood. All vessels coming in, should leave the Perch on the larboard hand. High water at full and change, at a quarter af- ter nine o'clock-average spring tides rise and fall oil the Bar from 16 to 18 feet-neap ditto from 6 to 8 feet. Expert Pilots ;nay always be had on making the proper signal. This Harbour has been lately considerably en- larged and improved, a great number of large ves- sels are built here annually-it is a most COlwe. 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 wharfs, for the reception and safety of ships and vessels loading and unloading, or lying within the limits of this port. The Trustees of this Harbour have expended from four to five hundred pounds in blasting some of the rocks at the Swillies, to low water mark4 which has rendered a most free passage for .ships and vessels of large burthen, coming from the eastward to this Harbour, or sailing through the Straits of Menai. (pfr The north and south banks of this Harare subject to shift-when they do shift, or the Buoys part from their moorings, proper care will be taken to moor Buoys in the deep, as at present* and the true bearings, distances, &c. of them, in- serted in this paper- BA NGOft Printed and Publiahed by J.
