NOTICE TO MARINERS.
In order to prevent vessels getting ashore on the shoal of
Lusnac, lying between the Rock of Badia and the Rock of
Lusnac, at the E. entrance of the channel, between the
islands of Curzola, and Sabioncollo, there has been placed
over the centre of the shoal, where there is only five feet
depth of water, a floating beacon of a quadrangular pyra-
midal form, the upper part of which is painted red and
the lower white.
To avoid the shoal vessels must keep twenty fathoms
distant from the beacon.
