The tidal observations are from the Register kept at the Albert Dock 
of the North-Eastern Railway Company, the calculated height of the 
tides being taken from the Admiralty Tide Tables, L.W.8.T. being taken 
as 6°15 feet below Albert Dock sill.

The tides, as recorded at Sheerness, appear to rise on an average 
about 12 inches higher than the calculated height as given in the Admi- 
ralty Tables. 
Out of 686 times recorded in 1895, 702 were above the 
height given, an average of 1:02 foot, and only 26 were below, an average 
of 0°45 foot. 
This to some extent affects the results given in this table.
