A Description of the Tides, Rocks, Shoals, Sand-banks, Channels, Anchoring-places, and Harbours, between FORMBY POINT, and WALNEY ISLAND. | ||
CHART X. | ||
TIDES. Time of High-water. / From Formby, to St. Bee's Head, it is high water on the shore about eleven o'clock, on the full and change-days of the moon. | ||
Rise of the Tide. / Spring-tide, on this part of the coast, rises 4 1/2, or five fathoms perpendicular; neap-tide three. In the anchorage at Piel-of-Foudray, spring-tide, the second day after the change, rose six fathoms perpendicular | ||
Direction of the Stream. / The stream of flood along the coast, from Formby to Walney, runs northward; and, off the middle of that island, meets the stream which comes round the north coast of Ireland, and from thence runs southward through the Irish channel. The opposition of these two streams destroy each other's force, and renders their celerities scarce sensible in that neighbourhood; but, by accumulating the water in Piel-of-Foudray anchorage, occasions a greater rise of the tide there than in other parts. | ||
Page 18:- | ||
... ... | ||
The stream of tide, near the W. side of Walney, begins to run S.E. at the last quarter of flood on the shore, and continues till it is one quarter flowed, then runs nine hours N.E. | ||
