to take root and become a fixture, for use with light vessels, beacons, floating breakwaters. 

 (5) Green way Buoy, half size. A row of these buoys form the breakwater. These detached 

 portions of the breakwater cleave the waves, and turn the cleft portions against each other, 

 thus causing them to expend their force innocuously, and creating a safe anchorage behind. 

 Each buoy creates its own electric light and carries a fog bell. (6) Model of Greenway 

 Breakwater as a harbour of refuge on the coast. Purely a shelter harbour for use during 

 storm, or when low tide prevents ingress to a neighbouring port, may be constructed in three 

 months, at small cost, and affording any depth of water the largest vessel can require. If 

 repeated every fifty miles along the coast it would almost prevent shipwreck, and save one 

 thousand lives a year. (7) Model of Greenway Breakwater as a harbour of refuge on the 

 Dogger Bank, or other fishing resort, where fishing boats might have shelter for a few hours 

 at any time without losing days by leaving the banks for the coast and its fatal high tide 

 harbours ; where might lie permanently a store vessel from which smacks might temporarily 

 refit ; and which would form a port of call for the steamers sent out by smack owners 

 to collect the fish. (8) Model of Greenway Breakwater as supplementing existing harbour 

 works, protecting the existing stone piers, and thus obviating the necessity for frequent repairs 

 as at Wick (where the sea overturned a massive coping of 800 tons in one block), Plymouth, 

 &c., and creating an additional outer anchorage. (9) Model of Greenway Breakwater shelter- 

 ing a lighthouse, and giving access to them at all times. Thus preventing the chance of the 

 starvation of the men and extinction of the lights as almost occurred recently at three of the 

 most important lighthouses Calf, Wolf, and Eddystone. (10) Model of Greenway Breakwater 

 protecting a coast threatened by marine encroachment, at far less cost and more permanently 

 than a continuous sea-wall often needing repair.
