NOTICE TO MARINERS.

FAUST() AUGUS:O DE AQUIAR.

A New Light Ship at the Copperground, in the Cattegat.
Pursuant to preliminary notices from the Royal Navy
department of the 4th Sept. and the 14th Oct. of this cur-
rant year,. puilic notice is hereby given, that the 3•masted
light ship therein mentioned now has occupied the place of
the temporary light ship which, cn th 6 24th of September,
last year, was stationed at the Copperground, eleven miles
S. I o F. from the easternmost part of the mainland of Las-
e•re, and that the same, for the first time, has exhibited its
light on Sunday, the 29th Oct., half an hour after sunset.
The new floating light exhibits three flames, one on each
mast, whereof the m:ddle one is 40 feet, and the other two
28 feet, elevated above the surface ef the water. The ftp-
p tratus of each flame consists of eight sinumbra lamps,
with silver plated parabolical reflectors, placed in a lantern
round the mast. The ship has a red ball at the top of each
mast, and, like the other Danish light ships, its hull painted
red on the outside, with a white cross, in which the Danish
naree of the statioe, "ICobbergrunden," is exhibited.
The place of the ship is, as previously stated, in lat N.
57 deg. 8 min. :30 sec., and long. E. 11 deg 20 min. 30 sec.,
31 cables' lengths S.E. to S. from the Southern Vane (called
the New Vane) of the Copperground, in 4 fathoms' water.
It has been shown experimentally that when the view
is not confined or intercepted by fog, and the eye elevated
10 feet above the level of the water :
The top light may bo seen at the distance of 8 miles,
and the lowerlights at the distance of 7 miles ;
When the floating light is seen at an angle of 1i point
from the straight line, fore and aft, only two lights will be
seen, in a line more or less perpendicular; but when the
said angle is greater, all the three lights will be seen ; in
a telescope all the lights may ba distinctly seen from the
moment the low er lights have become visible above the
horizon.
