Directions to sayl into Harwich coming from the southwards.
If you come from the southward, keep Harwich-steeple open a good Birth off the Cliff-end, and on the North end, keep Farberry-Clifts open of the Beach on the East side; and so you may go in, bearing close by the Beach for fear of the Altar,* 1.1 which lies within a Ca∣bles length of the Beach; and so you may go along clear, keeping by the Beach, till you come to the Wore-bore-head, and then you may steer up with Ipswich-water, and anchor with Harwich S. S. W. in five or six fathom water; and the higher up, the better ground, till you bring the Town South of you.
