10. North Carr Rock, which dries has a prominent beacon (red column on a stone base, globe topmark, all supported by 6 metal stays) and lies at the NE extremity of foul ground extending 1 mile NE of Fife Ness.

11. A bank with depths of less than 5 m extends 1 mile E of the entrance to the River Leven. The approach channel, 27 m wide, dries at its outer part and is marked by posts at the bar and thence perches on both sides. Within the bar there is a depth of 15 m in the channel. SW winds cause a considerable sea when the harbour should not be attempted.

12. Crabwater Rock, awash, lying close W of the elbow of the breakwater which is marked by a light structure.

13. Calot Shad, a bank of sand and stones which dries, and extends from the S side of Berwick nearly across the harbour, marked on its E and S sides by two light-buoys (both starboard hand).

14. Goldstone, a rock which dries, marked by a buoy (starboard hand) on its S side. Stiel Reef extends 1¼ cables ESE of Goldstone, and Saint Nicholas Rock, on which the sea breaks heavily, lies 3 cables NW.

15. Shorestone Outcars, a ledge of rocks, which dries and marked by a buoy (port hand) is moored 3 cables to the NE of the ledge.

16. Plough Seat Reef, which dries, marked on its E side by a buoy (port hand). Plough Rock, a drying rock 2 cables W of the reef, is marked by beacon (2 m in height, wood, black, surmounted by a ball).

17. Two detached shoals, Steel Bush with 12 m over it and North East Bush with 28 m over it, lie 2½ cables NNE of the island.

18. Embleton Bay lies between Castle Point and a group of rocks 1¼ miles NNW of the point. The rocks run 5 cables to seaward with Fills, an extensive rocky patch, at their extremity.

19. Link End is low, rounded and sandy and fronted by drying rocks up to 3 cables to seaward. These dangers are further extended by North Spit and South Spit, two shoals, respectively 5 cables NE and 5 cables E of Link End.

20. Marsden Bay backed by a limestone bank, 15 m to 18 m high, lies between Lizard and Marsden Point. Several detached rocks lie in the bay, of which Marsden Rock, 26 m high and in the center of the bay, is the most prominent.

21. Hendon Rock, marked by a buoy (port hand) on its E side. Two wrecks lie 4 cables NE and White Stones, a group of rocky shoals, lie 6 cables S of Hendon Rock.

22. A rocky shoal, marked by Longscar Light-buoy (E cardinal) which lies close E of the shoal. The NE extremity (1 mile SSE) of Long Scar, a detached ledge of rock which dries, is 3½cables SW of the shoal. Long Scar runs 4 cables SW from its extremity, with several smaller detached patches on either side.

23. Upgang Rocks, an area of foul ground inside the 5 m depth contour over which the swell breaks heavily. The rocks are covered in weed and dry close inshore.

 

24. Bull Sand Fort (mast, 9 m in height, isolated danger mark), standing centrally on Bull Sand. The depths and configuration of the sand change continuously. Haile Channel, which is buoyed, separates Bull Sand from Haile Sand.The latter fronts the coast from Cleethorpes to Donna Nook

 

Bull Sand Fort (Original dated 1980)

25. Hawke Channel is marked by Hawke Light-float. Middle Shoal divides the Hawke and Sunk Channels to the N from Bull Channel and Grimsby Road to the S. The shoal runs 5 miles to the WNW and is subject to great change.

26. Halton Flat is defined by the 5 m depth contour. It is a sandbank extending along the SW shore for 3½ miles and up to 1 mile offshore, which lies on the SW side of the channel.

27. Providence Rock, with a depth of less than 18 m and over which the sea seldom breaks, and Cheesman Rock, awash, and over which the sea always breaks, lie 7½ cables W and 7¼ cables NNW respectively of Cape Mark. A rock drying 46 m, lies 8 cables NE of Cheesman Rock, 3 cables offshore.

28. About 1¼ miles SE of Hunt Point is Mason Point, and between them is a bay with irregular depths. A rock awash lies midway between the two entrance points, and a shoal, with a depth of 8 m over it, lies about 4 cables E of Hunt Point; rocks extend 1 cable N of Mason Point.

29. A large rocky ledge, with above water and drying rocks on it, extends from the N shore to mid-channel and lies 3 miles WSW of Sandilands Island; a rocky patch, with 2 m or less over it, extends 1 cable SW from the S point of the ledge; a rock, with 2 m or less over it, lies 1 cable from the S shore and 3 cables ESE of the rocky patch, mentioned above.
