HARBOR REGULATIONS

ANCHORAGE GROUNDS IN HAMPTON ROADS AND THE HARBORS OF NORFOLK AND NEWPORT NEWS, VA., AND RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATING THERETO

THE ANCHORAGE GROUNDS

[All azimuths are referred to a true meridian]

Under authority of the provisions of section 7 of the river and harbor act approved March 4, 1915, the following anchorage grounds for vessels in Hamp

262

ton Roads and the harbors of Norfolk and Newport News, Va., are hereby defined and established, and the following rules and regulations relating thereto are adopted.

TEMPORARY ANCHORAGE A

Hampton Bar.-To the westward of a line bearing 8° from a point ("A") determined by the following cross bearings: Old Point Comfort light, bearing 31°; flagstaff on Fort Wool, bearing 100°; to the northward of a line bearing 229° from point "A" to a point ("B"), 425 yards distant; to the northeastward of a line bearing 289° from point "B."

NOTE. This area is reserved for the use of vessels while undergoing examination by quarantine, customs, and immigration authorities. Upon completion of these examinations vessels shall move promptly to a regular anchorage area.

The master of every steam vessel using this temporary anchorage shall keep his vessel in condition to move promptly under her own power upon notification by the captain of the port, and, when any such vessel is in charge of a pilot, the pilot shall remain on board until the vessel is safely anchored in a designated anchorage area. No sailing vessel using this anchorage shall be left unattended by a steam tugboat while undergoing examination by any of the authorities mentioned in paragraph two hereof, except when her stay is likely to be of several hours' duration, when she shall be anchored in the western part of this temporary anchorage out of the way of other vessels before the tug and pilot leave her. No master of a vessel awaiting or undergoing quarantine inspection shall release any part of the crew until the vessel has been passed by the proper quarantine officials and safely anchored or moored in one of the designated areas.

ANCHORAGE B

66

Naval anchorage.'-To the southward of a line bearing 289° from point B defined under Temporary Anchorage A; to the westward of a line bearing 229° from point "B" defined under Temporary Anchorage A; to the northward of a line bearing 292° from the northernmost of the two towers on the west side of the Jamestown Exposition Pier, Naval Operating Base, Sewell Point.

NOTE. This area is reserved for the use of naval vessels, but, in the absence of the fleet, the captain of the port may, in his discretion, permit it to be used by merchant vessels. Upon receiving word that any part of the fleet is expected, the captain of the port shall cause a sufficient area in this anchorage, and also in Anchorage C, to be vacated to accommodate the number of vessels scheduled to arrive.

ANCHORAGE C

Newport News Bar-To the southward of the southern boundary of Anchorage B; to the westward of an extension of the line forming the eastern boundary of Anchorage B; to the northward of a line running through the red buoys marking the 35-foot dredged channel to Newport News; to the eastward of a line bearing north through red gas buoy No. 8, at the western entrance to the old Newport News channel.

ANCHORAGE Ꭰ

The area inclosed by lines drawn as follows: From gas buoy No. 1 at the entrance to the Newport News dredged channel to bell buoy No. 2, at the entrance to Norfolk dredged channel; thence 229° to a point where buoy S 25H bears 250°; then on that bearing until Newport News Middle Ground Light

1 The established anchorages for naval vessels having been found inadequate at times when an especially large number of vessels are gathered for parade or other purpose, and the Navy Department having requested the establishment of a numbered series of anchorages for such occasions in order that a naval vessel may be ordered to proceed to a designated numbered anchorage in the harbor, the following arrangements have been made: A key chart for naval anchorages in Hampton Roads, which provides for the emergent anchorage of naval vessels in Anchorages A, C, E, and G, and also in the vicinity of Thimble Shoal, marked Anchorage "X" on the key chart, has been prepared. These designated anchorages, with the exception of those in Naval Anchorage B, which are primarily for naval vessels, are not set aside for the exclusive use of naval vessels, but permission will be given for naval vessels to use them when available. When the captain of the port receives notification from the proper naval authorities that it is desired to utilize certain of these specially numbered anchorages, he will authorize the use by naval vessels of the requested numbers, if they can be made available, the commercial conditions at the time being given proper consideration. If, in the opinion of the captain of the port, there are sufficient reasons why the numbers first asked for should not be used, he will confer with the naval officers making the request, and if other numbers can be agreed upon he will authorize their use; otherwise he will communicate the request to the Secretary of War with a statement of the circumstances and with his recommendations.
