NOTICE TO MARINERS.
PORT FLEETWOOD-ON-WYRE HARBOUR LEAD-
ING LIGHTS.
Bearings—Magnetic.
Fleetwood-on-Wyre, Lancaster Bay, Nov. 1,1840.
THE Directors of the Preston and Wyre Railway Harbour
and Dock Company hereby give notice, that the har-
bour improvements having been so far completed, under the
plans of Captain Henry Mangles Denham, R.N., F.R.S.,
as to permit a straight course direct from sea into the har-
bour : the same will be denoted, on and after the let day of
December next, by the exhibition of TWO HARBOUR
LIGHTS, from which date the shore beacon, known as
Wyre Mark, will be discontinued. These Lights (of fixed
white character) will appear to the Mariner in upper and
lower order when brought in line upon the bearing of south,
to which bearing their brilliancy is limited, and will guide
him right up the sea-reach of Wyre according to his draught
and time of tide, instead of depending on daylight for navi-
gating the buoyed but serpentine deep. The said Lighthouse
structures are in addition to the Screw-pile Lighthouse
erected at the western point of entrance last June ; and pre-
sent for a day leading-line two columns of the relative alti-
tudes of 104 and 44 feet above half-tide level : The inner
and higher column rises conspicuously from the town-site,
is of red sand-stone colour, and when in line of the lower
light, appears between the Custom-house and the Sea-view
Hotel, with a spired church half a point westward. The
lower Lighthouse stands at H.W. mark 850 feet in advance
of the higher Lighthouse : it is of light coloured stone,
springing from a square colonnade, and makes out in relief
when in line of the higher column. The two lights by night,
or a black ball at the lower column of the twoby day, indicate
at the present stage of harbour improvements nine feet water
right up, which increases to eighteen upon neaps, and twenty-
five feet upon spring tides ; whilst in the buoyed deep eighteen
at half-tide, twenty-four at H.W. neaps,eand thirty-one feet
on H.W. springs. The relative height of lights are so ar-
ranged as to dip the higher below the lower when4you have
passed through the new cut, and may haul south-eastward for
the mooring-buoys, where twenty feet water is retained at
low-water springs. Two black buoys mark the eastern side
of the cut, and a black and white chequered buoy the western
side. The cut lies at the inner, i.e. southern, portion of the
leading line of lights.*
H. M. DENHAM, Consulting Marine Surveyor.
N.B.—Whenever the above shore Lighthouses are ob-
scured from the entrance by haze during day tides, the lamps
will be lighted to assist the Mariner's eye.
