The Chapman.
The Chapman is a shoal that lyeth about two miles be∣low the Scarrs on the North side:
* 1.1 The West end there∣of joyns to the shore, and is called the Chapman-head; it lyeth down nearest from the Scarrs East, is near half a mile in length, and steep too, having nine fathom close to it; a good part of the East end thereof appeareth dry at low-water, being hard, strong, and uneven ground, having six fathom water close aboard of it. The thwart mark for the East end of the Chapman, is to bring Hadley Church and Hadley Castle both in one. This Sand is noted in the Draught with the letter c.
From hence runneth a shoal which reacheth below Canvey-Island,
* 1.2 and is called High-sand.
