West-Rocks.
The West-Rocks are a great many Heaps and Banks joyned together, having several small Swatches amongst them, the Ground being of several qualities, partly Sand, and partly Stones, both great and small; in se∣veral places it dries, and in most other parts of it but 2, 3, 4, 5 foot at low-water; the ground uneven, and is of great extent, N. E. and S. W. about 3 miles, and lyeth N. W. and S. E. near 5 miles. There are seve∣ral shoals that lie within it on the N. W. side, that are accounted parts of it, and the Cork-Sand that lyeth on the North side of it, there being only a small Swatch of 7 foot water that parts them; the S. W. part of this Shoal, lyeth a mile and half from the Buoy of the Gun∣fleet, North by East, and N. N. E. you must come no nearer to it than 7 or 8 fathom on the South side: when you are to the southward,
and against the Body of it, then Harwich-Church will be a little nearer to Land∣guard-Fort than to Harwich-Cliff.
