poynt of Lagernesse which shall then stand from you about west-south-west saile in so right with them untill that the high-land within Lagernesse or Winfleet begin to come even without the poynt of Lagernesse which shall then be from you somewhat more northerly then west then you are within the poynt of Longsand Or else there stand three little houses on the sea-side about halfe wayes betwixt Lagernesse and Ingoldmils when they come to be north-west from you and those foresaid trees without the poynt then you are also within the poynt of Longsand goe in then s w. betwixt Elleknock and Longsand as aforesaid A little past Lagernesse lyeth a showld or plate about the middest in the fareway but nearest Longsand when the trees upon the poynt to the southwards of Winfleet come in the second valley of the high-land within Winfleet then you are right thwart of this showld edge therefore to one side or other rather towards the showld there is widest keep boldly the sounding of the

house which is a sheep house before that you come by it it seemeth as if there were no opening by reason that it is all even green land run in by it all along by the land being past it the River doth open it selfe Being come within the poynts you must run in betwixt two dikes a league up untill you come before the Towne in the River it is at halfe flood every where deep enough When as that you come a little within the houses of the Town on the larboard side there you must let fall your ankor and stay untill that the water begin to fall then you shall have flood enough for to drive to the Key there you must fast with one Cable it doth not begin to ebbe there before that water be fallen three foot An east and west Moon maketh in Boston deep the highest water but before the Town an east and by south and east-south-east Moon He that cometh from Boston and will saile out at the deep with a high water let him look out for the foresaid high-land within Lagernesse when that cometh behind the point of Lagernesse then he may boldly set his course whether he desireth to be either to the eastwards northeastwards or northwards there is no thing then that can hurt him From Lagernesse to Hommer it is about seven leagues most north betwixt them both about a league to the southwards of the Hommer lyeth a place called Saltfleet-haven a little to the northwards of a sharp steeple called Wilgrip Plate by Saltfleet Haven Thwart of that foresaid saltfleet-Saltfleet-haven about an English mile from the shoare lyeth a bank or sand-plate not very great which at low water falleth almost dry you must run about without it and leave it lying towards the land from you but yet for need you may also saile through within it For to saile into the Hommer coming from the northwards For to sail into the Hommer you must saile along by the shoare and run about by the north poynt but coming by the poynt you must keep somewhat off from the shoare in four or five fathom for to avoid a little taile which lyeth off from the poynt being about it run to the little Island which lyeth a little by west that foresaid n. poynt If coming from the southwards you desire to saile to the Hommer then bring the Pawle steeple which is a high sharp steeple standing on the north side of the Hommer a little by south the north poynt of the Hommer or over that foresaid little Island and saile so right in with it untill that you come by that little Island being come by it leave it on the starboard side and run in close by it for to avoid a great sand called the Bull which lyeth off from the s shoare almost unto that little Island When that you come within that little Island then bring the two Beakons which stand upon that little Island one in the other keep them so standing and saile so on the westwards towards Grimsby you leave the buye upon the Bull lying then on the larboard side and run along to the northwards of it In this faire way it is seven and eight fathom deep You may not come nearer the Bull Road before Grimsby then in six fathome Before Grimsby you may ankor in three or four fathom at low water it floweth there at least three fathom up and down a west-south-west and east north-east Moon maketh before the Hommer the highest water Within the foresaid little Island at the n. poynt of the Hommer you may ankor in three or four fathom there lye commonly ships that are bound out and tarry for the wind From Grimsby in along to Hull the Course is w. n. w. to the end of the bank or ballast plate which you must leave lying on the n. side On the s side there lyeth also a little plate there standeth commonly a Beakon upon it that you must leave on the larboard side and run along to the n. wards of it being past it you may run along by the south shoare in three fathom The faire way there is four five and six and thwart of the said Beakon eight and ten fathom When you come to the end of the bank you must edge up to the w. wards about by the poynt on the s side but there runneth off a Flat which you must avoid Being a little about that poynt you shall see the Towne of Hull lye before you there you may ankor before it in six seven or eight fathom an e. and w. Moon maketh full sea before Hull He that will ankor upon the Ballast plate let him bring the flat steeple which standeth a little to the n. wards or the e. wards of Hull to the high poynt of Pael and keep them so standing untill that he come to the Plate there it is best for to ankor upon it

to the w. side of Hartlenope then shall also the two foresaid high lands come within a handspikes length near one to the other saile in right with them and so you shall run right into that new channel along through that aforesaid land and come against the buye upon the sands on the s side of the Deep again in the right fareway When that you get againe deeper water or have the two fire-beakons on the n. side one in the other then goe in towards them and further as hath been before said About seven leagues to the n. wards of the Teese lyeth the River of Sonderland a little to the n. wards of the Paps which are very good marks for to know the land by thereabouts When the Paps are s s w. from you and that you are about an English mile from the land then you are right before the River of Sonderland the ground is there about indifferent clean but somewhat stony you may ankor there in four five and six fathome On both sides as well on the n. point as the s point of the River it is stony On the n. point standeth a Beakon in the water there you must run in within a little ships length along by it being past that you shall get deeper water to wit a fathom and a halfe and two fathome at low water but upon the barre remaineth no more then three foot with a common spring and high water there is about two fathome and a halfe or a little more After this aforesaid first depth of a fathome and a half Sonderland or two fathom you shall meet again with a stony floore about three ships length broad upon it is at high water about eleven or twelve foot deep according as the Tides shall run being over it there it is againe deeper A little past that is a narrow place where a long ship shall scarce be able to wend within it it is wide enough and every where good ground From the Teese to Tinmouth the Course n. n. w. eight or nine leagues Tow leagues to the fourth wards of Tinmouth lyeth the point of Sonderland but close to the s wards of Tinmouth goeth in the river of Newcastle From the point of Tinmouth shooteth off a ledge of rocks you must saile in by it leaving it on the starboard side The marks for to saile into the River are two fire-towers or fire-beakons which stand upon the n. shore bring them one in the other or the innermost that is the highest a little to the n. wards of the outermost or lowest and saile so right in along by the aforesaid ledge of rocks on the n. side and so you shall have upon the showldest two fathome at halfe flood a s w. Moon maketh there full sea The s shoare is flat you may lead it in there with the sounding pole for ships that goe not deep in ten foot at halfe flood When you come within run all along by the n. shoare until past the little Town Sheels edge then over to the other shoare untill you come through the crooked reach there the river lyeth up againe to the n. wards and then to the s wards to Hawke-bil and about by it to the Towne Newcastle Seven or eight leagues to the n. wards of Tinmouth Bly lyeth the Cock Island betwixt them both about halfe wayes lyeth a River called Bly where the French men do much saile to fetch Coale From the n. point of this River runneth off a ledge of rocks a great shot of a cast piece about s e. into the sea but the s side and the Coast to the s wards of it is very clean and sand-strand Upon the s point stand two Beakons if you will sail in there bring them one in the other and sail right in with them and then you can take no hurt of the foresaid ledge or riffe of the n. poynt When that you come by or thwart of the outermost of the two foresaid Beakons you shall see there by it another smaller Beakon that standeth upon a little ledge of rocks that shooteth off from the s point leave that on the larboard side and run in along close about n. wards of it The foresaid ledge of rocks on the n. side remaineth at high water a good wayes from the land and also at a spring tide above water within it is a bight there it is good lying for a n. or n. e. wind and there remaineth at low water two fathome depth In the mouth of the River it is with an ordinary tide and high-water about two fathome deep or somewhat more and it floweth there two fathome up and downe so that at low water it falleth almost altogether dry The Cocker Island is a very little Island Cocker Island and not high it lyeth about a halfe league from the land you may come to an ankor in it for an e. s and s e. wind but the wind coming to the n. wards of the e. maketh there a bad road for you must lye betwixt the Island and the maine land where you have no shelter for a n. wind On the s side of the Island the ground is foul and a little to the s wards of the Island runneth off a foul ledge of rocks from the shore untill thwart or past the Island He that cometh from the s wards must keep the Coast of Bambrough without the Island or else he should not faile to saile upon the point of that foresaid ledge Betwixt the ledge and the Island it is also very narrow so that a man standing at low water mark upon the rocks of this ledge should almost be able to cast with a stone to the Island For to sail in there take heed unto these marks hereafter described There standeth a house upon the sea-side which is a Salt-kettle and also a Castle somewhat further in within the land which doth shew it selfe high enough bring them one in the other and then they shall stand somewhat more n. then w. from you and run in so right with them and so you shall run in amidst the channell between both being come within edge up behind the Island and ankor there in five or six fathom Staples About this Island there run also many more divers little Rivers into the land but they fall most dry at low water From the the Cocket Island to the Staples the Course is n. n. w. eight or nine leagues The Staples that are high Islands rocks right to the e. wards of Bambrough lying at least three leagues from the land n. e. into sea a little to the n. wards of them lyeth the Holy Island Holy Island to the s wards or the w. wards of the Holy Island is a Bay where you may lye landlockt almost for all winds against the Castle is the best road you may also run in there from the s wards through betwixt the Staples and the maine land Betwixt the Staples and the Holy

From the n. poynt of the Hommer Flambrough head called Spurn-head to Flamborough-head the Course is n. and by w. eight or nine leagues betwixt them it is showld water of six seven and eight fathom deep Flamborough-head hath many white spots and chalk hills especially upon the n. side toward Fyley Flamborough hath a Head or Piere A league to the w. wards of it on the s side lyeth a little Towne called Burlington which hath also a Piere Burlington You may ankor there in the buy in six or seven fathom Three leagues by west Flambourgh head lyeth Fyley Fyley in a round bay to the southwards of a poynt that lyeth out which hath a Piere or Head where you may lye within it but it falleth there dry at low water Without the head of Fyley lyeth a rock under water Fyley bride called Fyley bridge betwixt it and the Piere you may well lye afloat with a ship of an hundred lasts in five fathom at low water and have shelter for a n. e. and e. wind From Scarbrough the Coast lyeth along by Robbin-hoods bay untill before Whidbye Robbinhoods bay Whidbie most n. w. but past Whidbie the land falleth in w. n. w. and by little and little more westerly unto the Tees Robbinhoods bay is a good road for a s s w. and w. wind there men lye in seven or eight fathom Whidbie is a tide-tide-haven which falleth dry at low water at the e. side of the Haven runneth off a riffe of rocks whereof you must take heed For to saile in there you must run in betwixt the two Beakons untill that you come in betwixt the two lands and ankor there From Whidbie to the Tees the Coast lyeth most w. n. w. and w. and by n. about seven leagues Huntleyfoot betwixt both lye Huntleyfoot and Redcliffe Huntleyfoot is a high hill lying on the sea-side about four leagues to the eastwards of the Tees Redcliffe Redcliffe lyeth about halfe wayes betwixt Huntleyfoot and the Tees it is a cliffe of such very red earth that when the sun doth shine against it it is to see to like red cloath these two are very good marks for to know this Coast by Close to the southwards of the mouth of the Tees lye three Riffes which lye about a halfe league e. n. e. into sea which are very foule and stony and fall dry at low water upon the n. side they are very flat so that you may sound about by them in five six and seven fathom but on the s side are so steep that coming near them and sounding in thirteen and fourteen fathom you should be upon them before you should be able to heave the lead the second time A league and halfe to the n. wards of the Tees lyeth Hartlepoole upon a poynt that lyeth out almost like an Island For to goe in there you must run in to a bight to the southwards of the Towne within a head untill you come against the Towne there you shall lye dry at low water About halfe wayes betwixt Hartlepoole and the Tees Hartlepoole runneth off also a riffe of rocks thwart from the shoare a good wayes into sea come no nearer it then five or six fathom There standeth a Mill to the northwards of the Towne Hartlepoole if you keep that to the west side of the Towne Hartlepoole then you cannot saile upon that foresaid riffe but if you bring the foresaid Mill a little to the westwards of the Towne so that you may plainly see through betwixt the Mill and the Towne then you shall not faile to saile upon that riffe For to saile into Teese coming from the northwards For to sail into the Teese you must observe these marks following A good wayes to the northwards of Hartlepoole a little to the southwards of Sonderland and a little within the Land lye upon the high-land two Hammocks one close to the other very good to be knowne The Paps of fashion like womens breasts called the Paps keep these two Hammocks even without the poynt of Hartlepoole which shall then stand from you n. w. and by n. and saile so on to the southwards and you shall fall before the Teese and shall not saile too near the sands that lye out before the mouth of the Teese and lye off about a halfe league into sea On both sides as well on the n. side as the s side of the Teese stand two little white houses for fire-beakons If you come from the n. wards and get sight of them then bring first the two southermost one in the other which shall then stand from you s and by e. saile right in with them untill that the other two which stand on the n. side of the Teese come also one in the other then leave them on the s side and saile in right with them that stand on the n. side and so you shall run in amidst the channel there is upon the barre or showldest at low water no more then five foot but it floweth there with a common tide at least two fathome up and downe A s w. Moon maketh there full sea If when you come from the south wards you will saile into the Teese then bring the innermost of the two fire-beakons which stand on the n. side at least a handspikes length or the length of a capstone barre to the n. wards of the other and run so w. wards towards them until that the two fire-beakons on the s side are one in the other then saile in right with them as hath been said untill that two fire-beakons on the n. side come one in the other when you have them one in the other run in right with them untill that you come by the n. shore and then close along by it When as that you come so farre in past the first fire-bea-beakon to wit that you may see Hartlepoole betwixt the two fire-beakons there you may ankor in three four or five fathome or when Hartlepoole cometh betwixt the foresaid fire-beakons then goe s s w. until that you come by the s shore there it is also good ankoring Further it is Pilots water unto Stockton for there within the Deeps doe shift oftentimes and that in short time three four or five times in a summer He that will saile in there with northerly winds and a floud must reckon well his tides for the floud falleth strong to the southwards over the grounds and should there be lightly carried behind the bank to the s wards of the buy which lyeth upon the point of the bank Besides this foresaid channel For to saile in to the new channell there runneth yet another channel through the grounds which lye off from the n. poynt of the Teese For to saile in there you must take mark of the two high lands within the land to the s wards of the Teese bring them within a handspikes length one of another or bring the Paps
