remaineth no more than three foot for it floweth fifteen foot up and down, there is twelve foot at high-water, and three foot at common Tydes.
The Town of Shorum lyeth almost a mile within the Haven; Vessels that draw but eight or nine foot, can lie afloat a little below the Town at low-water; or else they lie dry every where, when you come from the Eastwards from Beachy or New-Haven; alongst by the Shore, you may see open into the Haven before you come thwart of it; but coming from the westwards, you shall not see it open, before you come right against it, because the West Point lyeth somewhat farther out than the East Point: from the West Point runneth off a little tayl; but at high-water you may run in alongst over it, otherwise you must run in by the East Shore: upon the East Point stand two Beacons, which you must bring one in the other, and so run in right with them, until you come by the North Shore, and then in alongst by it.
