4 CHANGES AND ADDITIONS. of water, with part of the upper works, about 220 yards above the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg railroad bridge, and about the same distance southeasterly from the old lighthouse tower. The wreck lies so close inshore that it is not considered a menace to navigation. New Shoal Southwesterly from Charity Shoal.--There is a rocky spot with only 15 feet of water over it, lying 14 miles SW W. (S. 53° 30' W.) from Charity Shoal gas buoy, in the eastern end of Lake Ontario. : The shoal is reported as a group of bowlders, covering a gravelly and rocky area of about three acres, with 18 feet of water all around. Bear- ings from the spot are as follows: 7 Tibbetts Point lighthouse N.E. 4 E. (N. 50° 30' E.) Pigeon Island lighthouse N.W. ¢ W. (N. 54° 30' W.) East Charity shoal is a rocky ridge, shallow on upper and lower ends, with 3 to 4 fathoms between the two spots. Locally, this shoal is known also as " South Bar;" the bar, trending N.W.-S.E., is about a mile long, Some of the local mariners call the upper shallow spot "South Bar," and the lower shallow spot " Kast Charity Shoal." | The upper spot lies S.W. 4 W. (S. 50° 30' W.) from Tibbetts Point lighthouse; it bears E.S.E. § E. (S. 77° 30' E.) from Charity Shoal gas buoy, and.is distant from main Charity shoal ? mile with good channel between them. The lower spot of "South Bar," or East Charity shoal ' proper, lies S.W. 4S. (S. 42° 30' W.) from Tibbetts Point lighthouse. Pultneyville--Sunken Wreck.--The wreck of the schooner St. Peter which foundered in Lake Ontario, off Pultneyville, New York, now lies in about 25 fathoms of water, about 7 miles west of Big Sodus bay entrance between Fairbanks point and Nigger Head bluff, and about 3 miles from shore. When last seen her main top mast was from 8 to 10 feet out of water. oS . | Charlotte.--A survey made in 1898, shows a channel between the piers at Charlotte, mouth of Genesee river, New York, with a least width of 150 feet and a least depth of 15 feet at low water. Through the bar there is a channel with a least width of 200 feet and a least depth of 153 feet. Between the piers the east side of channel was 100 to 130 feet from the east pier. Through the bar outside the piers the channel was parallel with and close to the'probongation of the west side of east pier. It is very liable to change its position, and to diminish in depth, the bottom being sand and silt. - Pultneyville.--The two piers of Pultneyville are 220 feet apart, | and run from the shore N. ? EK. (N. 8° E.) The west pier extends 300 feet farther into the lake than the east one.. The channel is shallow; it is 6 feet deep at the angle of the pier; at the mouth of Salmon creek, 4 feet deep; in the creek, 5 to 10 feet deep. Big Sodus Bay.--The entrance to Big Sodus bay is 150 feet wide between the piers, with a least depth of 15 feet at low water. From a pomt near the outer end of the west pier the channel flares equally east and west, from 150 feet to about 250 feet. Between the piers the west side of the channel was about 25 feet from outer end of west pier, and 260 feet from the inner end of same pier. The bottom is sand and gravel, with a few bowlders and cobble-stones along the east side. Little Sodus Bay.--Little Sodus Bay channel, from the bay to | | a point about 200 feet within the outer end of the east pier, is 130 feet oN ne 3 a 4 > S ENGL oa a
