| source data:- |  goto sourcePage 383:- "... Cockspec scar, with depths of 6 and 7 feet (1m8 and 2m1) at about one mile offshore, extends westward from the coast westward of Walney church. A patch covered with weeds, which dries, lies outside Cockspec scar, at about 2 miles west-south-westward of the church, and a patch of stones and boulders, with a least depth of 8 feet (2m4) over it, lies about 3 cables south-westward of the drying patch." "A black conical buoy, marked "Barrow," is moored about 1 3/4 cables northward of the 8-foot (2m4) patch, but this buoy is not intended to be an aid to navigation." |
