GEORGE KENDALL

Chairman

`Liverpool Shipowners' Association,

201/4 December, 1813.

" This Association lately addressed you upon the pres-
sing and extreme necessity of further Dock room, and
urging the propriety of the Dock Trustees possessing
themselves, with that object, of all the land north and
south of the Town applicable to Dock purposes, limits
which we defined as comprising the whole of the land, at
the south, from Knott's Hole rocks to the present boun-
dary of the Dock Estate—and at the north, the large
tract of land lately purchased by the Corporation from
the Earl of Derby.

—_
" Since that time we have observed, from the published
reports of the discussions in your Committee, that an
opinion prevails on the part of some of the members,
that your present proposed purchase at the south end may
be abandoned, or at least delayed, advantageously as
respects its cost to the Dock Estate, and without detri-

meiit to the commercial interest-

of them have been in that dangerous position for many
years. Now though this operation of cleansing the Docks
is a very irksome and inconvenient one to shipowners, and
ought only to be resorted to when absolutely necessary,
and at the proper season, we really are apprehensive
(using, we believe, your Surveyor's own words) that some
of these Docks will one day or other run dry themselves,
and it seems to us to be our bounden duty thus to add our
warning to his of the fearful consequences of such a dis-
aster to the shipping interest, and of the responsibility
for the same which must attach to the Dock Trust.
" In conclusion, we beg leave to state, as seems neces-
sary, that none of the opinions expressed in this or our
former communication are in any degree affected by the
plan lately brought forward for constructing Docks on the
Cheshire side of the river. We wish all possible success
to that design but are of opinion that it cannot be ex-
pected, for many years, to come, to be of any very mate-
rial utility to this Port. And even if the fact could be
proved to be otherwise, we should still submit that it
would afford no just ground for any relaxation of the
efforts to increase Dock accommodation on the Liverpool
side, but rather the contrary.

Chairman of the Dock Committee."

NOTICE TO MARINERS. )
SKERRYVORE LIGHTHOUE

THE COMMISSIONERS of the ORTHERN
LIGHTHOUSES HEREBY GI E NOTICE
that a LIGHTHOUSE has been erecte pon the SKER-
RYVORE ROCK, which lies off the I LAND of TYREE,
in the County of Argyle, the Light of which will be Exhi-
bited on the night of the Ist FEBRUARY, 1844, and every
Night thereafter, from Sun-set to Sun-rise.

The following is a Specification of the Position of the
Lighthouse, and the Appearance of the Light, by
Mr. ALAN STEVENSON, Engineer to the Commis-
sioners :
The SKERRYVORE ROCK lies of the Island of Tyree, in
lat. 56 deg. 19 min. 22 sec., N ; long. 7 deg. 6 min. 32
sec. W.

By Compass the Lighthouse bears from Barrahead
Lighthouse, 5.4- E., distant 33 nautic miles ; from Ifynish
Point, in Tyree, W.S.W. 1 W., distant IN miles ; from
lona Island, W.N.W. 1 N., distant 20 miles; from
Rhinns of Islay Lighthouso, N. 4- E., distant 44 miles;
and from Innistrahull Lighthouse in Ireland, N.E. by N.,
distant 53 miles.
Owing to the distance to which the foul ground extends
on every side of the Rock on which the Lighthouse is
placed, and the weight of sea which breaks on the shallow
ground all round it, it is necessary to give the LIGHT A
WIDE BERTH. The better to enable seamen to judge of
this, their attention is called to a Chart, prefixed to a se-
parately printed notice, which exhibits the relative posi-
tion of the Skerryvore Rock, and the various dangers
around it. In particular, it is necessary to notice the po-
sition of those Rocks which lie seaward of the Lighthouse,
viz., MACKENZIE'S Rock, about 3 miles W. by S. } S.
from the Lighthouse; STEVENSON'S, 21 miles W., 1 N ;
and FRESNEL'S, which lies between these two Rocks.
Copies of the notice, with the Chart prefixed, will be es-
tensively circulated to all the Customhouses of the United
Kingdom, and will be seen by any mariner on application.
The SKERRYVORE LIGHT will be known to Mariners as
a REVOLVING LIGHT, producing a BRIGHT FLASH once
every minute. The Lantern, which is open all round, is
elevated 150 feet above the level of the sea. In clear wea-
ther the flashes of the Light will be seen at the distance
of six leagues, and at lesser distances according to the
state of the atmosphere ; and to a near observer, in fa-
vourable circumstances, the Light will not wholly disap-
pear between the flashes.
And the Commissioners HEREBY FURTLIE II GIVE
NOTICE, that by virtue of a Warrant from the queen
in Council, of date the 13th Dec., 1843, the following
Tolls will be levied for voyages in respect of which benefit
will be derived from this light, viz., from every British
Vessel (the same not belonging to Her Majesty, or being
navigated wholly in Ballast,) and for every Foreign Vessel
which by any Act of Parliament, Order in Council, Con-
vention, or Treaty, shall be privileged to enter the Ports
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
upon paying the same Duties of Tonnage as are paid by

tu's I Ballast) tl
