KENT River.
|
|
|
The River Kent, between Sunderland and the Piel-of-Foudray,
is very dangerous, and not to be attempted by any stranger,
except in necessity; as there are neither buoys, perches, or
distinct land-marks to point out the channels to one that is
not particularly acquainted. When a vessel is forced into
this Bay, the only channels to be pursued are, either
Furness, or Grange; the former on the west side of
Cartmel-wharfs Bank, which dries about low-water only, the
other on the E. side of it: at four hours of flood, a
vessel, that draws ten or twelve feet, will have sufficient
water over Cartmel-wharfs, near the channel. These channels
often discover themselves, by the appearance of the water in
them; a good look-out is therefore necessary here.
