BAYOT SHOAL RECULOUX SHOAL, 345 



a depth of 3| fathoms. There is a deep passage both eastward and 

 westward of these shoals. 



Bayot shoal is a flat extending* about ^ mile in a general north- 

 easterly and southwesterly direction, with a width of 250 yards and 

 depths of 7 feet to 4:^ fathoms over it, situated northward 350 yards 

 from the northern end of Hare island. The beacons on Flat point 

 and Horn island in line, or Black cape open northwestward of Round 

 head, bearing 230°, lead northward of Bayot shoal and between it 

 and Reculoux shoal, and North summit of the Highlands of St. John 

 in line with the middle of the western Turr island, bearing 91°, leads 

 northward of this shoal. 



The east coast of St. John island is foul to the distance of 1^ 

 miles from Flat point to Turret point, which is the northeastern point 

 of the island, and is so called from a circular mound near it. 



Wolf rock, at the northeastern end of these shoals, bears 81°, dis- 

 tant 1,600 yards from Turret point, to which it is almost joined by 

 rocks and a bank; Wolf tail, a reef, extends east-southeastward 600 

 yards from it. 



Reculoux shoal bears 114°, distant 2,100 yards from Wolf rock, 

 and there is a depth of 2^ fathoms over it. The channel between 

 Reculoux shoal and Bayot shoal is about 900 yards wide. 



Numerous shoals, with 3 feet to 5 fathoms of water over them, lie 

 southward of Wolf rock and westward of Reculoux shoal. 



Round Head island, well open southward of Flat point, bearing 

 226°, or the beacons on Flat point and Horn island in line, 230°, leads 

 southward ; and the ravine near South summit of the Highlands of 

 St. John, open eastward of Hare islands, about 144°, leads eastward 

 of all these shoals. 



Directions. — For Good bay from the westward, when southward 

 of Square rock, bring Flat point beacon just open northward of 

 Round Head island, bearing 40°, and approach Round Head point, 

 with this mark on, to within 300 yards to clear Horn spit and the 

 shoal with 4| fathoms of water over it. Then steer northward and 

 anchor, with the beacons on the northern shore of the bay in line, 

 bearing 355°, and those on Well point in line, bearing 255°, in about 

 17 fathoms of water. Large vessels should moor eastward and west- 

 ward. Southerly winds are the most violent, but there is never any 

 sea, and the holding ground is good. 



From the eastward: Approach with the southern side of Horn 

 island in line with Flat point, or the beacons on the island and point 

 in line, bearing 230°, either of which marks leads between Bayot shoal 

 and the shoals southeastward of Wolf rock. When the eastern end 

 of Hare island bears 125°, steer 215° until the northwestern side of 

 Square rock is in line with the southeastern side of Horn island,
