Cartmel-wharfs Bank, which dries about low-water only, the other on the E. side of it: at four hours of flood, a vessel, that draws ten or twelve feet, will have sufficient water over Cartmel-wharfs, near the channel. These channels often discover themselves, by the appearance of the water in them; a good look-out is therefore necessary here." |
