Moorings for Shipping laid down in Valencia Bag.
Extract of a letter front Messrs. Henry O'Shea, Trenor, and
Co., dated Valencia, Nov. 8, 1825, to Mr. Bennett, secretary to
Lloyd's.
" We have the honour to acquaint you, far the information
of those whom it may concern, that in pursuance of a Royal
order, which we have obtained from his Catholic Majesty,
authorizing our establishing moorings for shipping in this
open bay, that on the sth instant we laid down an anchor of
three tons weight, in seven tathoms water, to which a very
strong chain is attached, suspended to a buoy of a conic
form, nine feet high, and about seven in diameter, which
is visible from a great distance upon the superfice of the water,
and the vessels which may make use of this, have simply so
pass a cable through the ring affixed to the buoy, and thus
ride with safety, besides avoiding the wear and tear of cables,
so very usual in this port. The Spanish marine officers of this
department, as well as the Captains of the English merchant
vessels, and the foreign Consuls, whom we have consulted upon
this project, are very sanguine as to the advantages of these
moorings ; and it will afford us particular pleasure, if the exer-
tions we have made to establish them prove uaesul to cur coun-
trymen. In a few days we hope to lay down another anchor
and chain, and skall augment them in proportion as they an,-
swer our expectations of an almost certain security to the ves-
sels which frequent this exposed and open bay. On the 6th
instant the English brig Nimble, Captain Wrightson, made
fast to the new moorings, and the Captain speaks in the most
flattering terms of their utility."
