OPPOSITE UPPER END OF RLBA ISLAND.
Situated on the South Carolina shore, and
intended 10 lead across the river from the rear
light Of the Elba Island range.
The light is exactly light the preceding.
It's approximate position. as taken from the
chart Of the L ; coast and geodetic survey. is
Lat 32:05:56 y, Ion SO:59:47 W.
FORT JACKSON RANGE.
This range consists Of two beacOns situated
near Fort Jackson, on the Georgia shore, and
is intended to guide past distractions near the
northwest end OF Elba Island. The distance
between the lights is about = mile, and the
line connecting them has magnetic bearing
Of about NNE&4E.
These lights are like the preceding, except
that the front light has a height OF "a feet
instead OF 81 feet above mean sea level.
The approximate positions, as taken from
the chart OF the L coast and geodetic sur
Tey, are:
Front beacon, lat 32:O5:I2 \, Ion 81 :Ol % W.
Rear beacon, lat 30 :05 :08 \, Ion 81 :0l ~ w.
The arc OF visibility Of all the above lights
is go deg, 30 deg Of their circles Of light being
obscured by the structures to which they are
fixed.
