150 CAPE RACE TO CREW POINT. 



The Friar, a peaked rock, 11 feet high and steep-to. lies close off 

 the southern end of this head. 



Boat harbor extends north-northeastward 3| miles on the west- 

 ern side of Boat Harbor head with a breadth of about ^ mile; the 

 harbor divides at its head into northeast and northwest arms, the 

 former 900 yards deep, and containing anchorage for small vessels, 

 but shoaling 600 yards from its head. 



Northwest arm is 1,400 yards deep and 500 yards wide; it 

 affords anchorage in 18 fathoms water, but is shoal at 400 yards from 

 its head. The only anchorage in Boat harbor for vessels of any size 

 is in this arm. 



Parker cove, just inside the entrance on the west shore, is 600 

 3'ards deep. A rock that covers 5 feet lies in the middle of the cove 

 250 yards from the shore, and a shoal with 9 feet water lies in the 

 line of the points 950 yards from Manny point south of the entrance. 



Anchorage for ships can be had only in Northwest arm, and for 

 fishing craft in Northeast arm and Parker cove inside the rocks. 



Wa,ter may be obtained from several streamlets on the sides of 

 this bay. 



A shoal, with 9 fathoms of water, bears 247°, distant f mile 

 from Boat Harbor head. It is the summit of a bank, with less than 

 20 fathoms water, nearly ^ mile in extent. 



The coast of the mainland, from Boat harbor trends southwest 

 by south 2j- miles to Bane harbor; it is backed by wooded ranges 

 with several sharp, barren peaks 470 to 616 feet high, and is bold-to. 

 Bane Harbor tolt, the southern of these hills, is a sharp peak 585 feet 

 high. 



Bane harbor, a landlocked basin 700 yards long and 500 yards 

 broad, is entered through a curved channel 100 yards wide, narrowed 

 to half that breadth by rocks extending from the northern shore. 

 The entrance is well defined by some white houses and the church, 

 a white wooden building standing on a small eminence just within 

 the entrance on the north shore. The point under the church is 

 rugged and continued under water to the opposite shore, forming 

 a bar, over which only 3^ fathoms can be carried. The northern 

 side of the harbor slopes from wooded hills, and over the west point 

 is an isolated hill 130 feet high, covered with small wood. 



Rodway point, east of the entrance, is a low, wooded mound, east 

 of which is a rocky islet about 10 feet above high water. A rock 

 lies close off the islet, and a reef that covers, with a shoal at the 

 extreme, extends nearly 100 yards from Rodway point. 



Smith point, south of the entrance, is steep-to, but a rock, awash 

 at low water, lies a few yards from the point next within. 



Inside the entrance the harbor divides into Northeast cove and 

 the Bottom, the former extending 300 yards and the latter a con- 

 tinuation of the main basin.
