Directions for sayling from Tilbury-Hope down to the Buoy of the Nower.
When you break ground from Tilbury-Hope, if the wind be southerly, keep the South shore close aboard, but be careful of Blyth sand, which lyeth close to the South-shore; and accordingly observe these marks to carry you clear of it; keep the Steeple of Tilbury-Church a great Sayls breadth without Sands-head-Point; or if it be in the Night, or hasey weather, keep your Lead, and come not within five fathom at low-water, and seven fathom at high-water, on the South-side, and that depth will carry you clear without the Sand; and those depths will lead you down to the Nower-head. But if the wind be northerly, then you must keep the North-shore, which is steep too, until you come as low as Hull-Haven; and so keeping the Soundings afore∣said, you may come down to the Nower; and if you please, you may come to an anchor at the East end of the Nower. And that you may know how to anchor clear of the Sand, bring Prickelwel-steeple a Sayles breadth to the eastward of the Wood that is on the North-shore by the water-side, and there you may come to an anchor.
