102 CAPE RACE TO CREW POINT. 



Leading marks. — Northeast cove open southward of Sparrow 

 point (the western entrance point of Ship harbor), bearing 84°, leads 

 160 yards southward of these shoals. 



A landslip under Broad cove head, on the southwestern side of 

 Placentia sound, in line with Isaac point, bearing 189° ; or a round 

 hill over Bald Head bay, just open northward of Long Harbor head, 

 bearing 15°, leads between Moratties and Ship Harbor point in 4^ 

 fathoms water. 



The only directions necessary for Ship harbor are to observe these 

 clearing marks and then keep in mid-channel to Northeast cove or 

 Cooper cove. 



Ship Harbor point is a shingle spit, 6 feet above high water, 

 stretching off the slopes of two cliff-faced hills, 310 and 260 feet high, 

 that mark the northwestern point of Ship harbor. 



A bay, 1,300 yards deep, lies between Ship Harbor point and Long 

 Harbor head, divided into two parts (Big Seal cove and Little Seal 

 cove) by a projecting steep point, the slope of a round hill, with 

 numerous bowlders at the summit, 500 feet above high water. The 

 south cove. Big Seal, is shallow to the line of the points, but the 

 north has anchorage with shelter from offshore winds in 10 fathoms, 

 taking care to avoid the rocky points off Long Harbor head. 



Long Harbor head is a steep, tree-covered point, sloping from 

 two table-topped hills about 300 and 250 feet high. Shoal ground 

 extends 300 yards from this point. 



Long harbor runs east-northeastward 7 miles from Long Harbor 

 head. The shores of this harbor are bold-to ; but Tim Barrett rock, 

 which dries 1 foot at low water, lies 350 yards off the south shore 

 at 2f miles within the entrance. 



Ice. — In severe winters Long harbor freezes early in February and 

 the ice breaks up toward the end of April. Northern ice arrives only 

 occasionally, about the end of February, leaving toward the end of 

 April. 



Crawley island, lying off a projection that divides Long harbor 

 into two arms. Long harbor and St. Croix bay, is 191 feet high. The 

 southeastern point of the island is a shingle spit that extends under 

 water a short distance, and off the western side of the island are 

 some low islets. 



Anchorage. — Civil East cove, the channel between Crawley 

 island and the mainland, is shallow at its western end, so that only 

 boats can pass at low water; but just inside the eastern entrance 

 there is good anchorage for small vessels in 4f fathoms water, mud 

 bottom, or just outside for large vessels in 10 fathoms. 



St. Croix bay, extending 2 miles northward of Crawley island, is 

 clear of shoals except close to the shore, and affords good anchorage
