Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ...do well to run along the weather or western shore, at about 3 cables, and when nearly abreast of point Almeiro, with cape Vares about N.E. E., and Conejera island S.E. J E., to come to with the small bower in 8 fathoms, so as to moor N.W. and S.E.. with open hawse to the north-east; in this position a vessel will be well sheltered by the land, and will have ample room to veer if desired. If the sea in the offing be very heavy in a north-west gale, some cross swell will come into the bay round cape Vares, and the smoothest water will then be found farther south-east, in the inner roads, called by the pilots Vicedo. It was in this part of the anchorage that twenty sail of merchant vessels rode out the heavy gales of 183!)-40. The marks for this anchorage are to bring the point of Cueva-baja on with Point de Cruz (the south point of Conejera island), and a long, low, one-story house, standing by itself on the beach of El Valle, on with point Videiros bearing S.S.W. But large ships should anchor with Conejera island open nearly its own breadth of the mainland, at the entrance of the harbour, in (i or 7 fathoms. In the southerly gales, which are very heavy on this coast, though unattended with sea, this part of the anchorage will also be preferable as well as with south-east winds. It is also more convenient for ships having to water, the best watering place being close to Conejera point, on the south-east side, under the village of El Vicedo. There is, however, an excellent rim of water on the opposite shore, near point Campelo, where two or three ship's boats can water at the same time even at low tide: at present, ships find some difficulty in watering both at Corunna and Ferrol, having to get the casks out of the boat. Though particular...
