Description of the Northern Coasts of

England, located under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Norfolk, and their layout.

A decorative drop cap 'F' original: 'E' for 'Erstlich' at the start of the first paragraph, featuring intricate floral and foliage patterns within a square border. Firstly, when Eccles original: "Eec," a coastal village in Norfolk lies Southwest-by-South original: "z. w. zum s." from you, then you are north of the Hasborough Sands original: "bancken von Castling". When Covehithe original: "Cochey" lies West-Northwest from you, then you are south of the banks. When the tower of Lowestoft original: "Leystaff" is south of the tree, then you are at the southern end of the banks or the Holms term for sandbanks or islands of Lowestoft. Anyone wishing to anchor in the South Roadstead term for a sheltered area of water near a port where ships can anchor of Lowestoft should sail toward the shore at a depth of four fathomsA nautical unit of depth equal to six feet (1.8 meters). until the tower is West and West-by-North from you, and anchor there in 4 fathoms. If you wish to pass by the Broad House original: "Bratwhawse," likely a prominent landmark through the narrows, you should move somewhat away from the shore and head North and North-by-West, anchoring before the Broad House in the North Roadstead in six or seven fathoms. If, however, you wish to sail through the Holms into the open sea, align the mill and the Broad House one over the other a navigation technique known as a "leading line" or "transit" and así sail directly through the banks. Likewise, to sail through the banks by the harbor of Yarmouth original: "Jarmüden", align the village of Southtown original: "Südhoen" over the northernmost headland and the large tree south of the flat church, and then sail straight through the Holms of Yarmouth. Directly north of the harbor of Yarmouth lies a middle shoal original: "middel Plate" or middle ground, which has seven fathoms of water on its western side. Likewise, directly in front of the city of Yarmouth, there is also a middle shoal called the Cockle original: "Cocklijn", which can be sailed through seaward at a depth of nine fathoms. A stout tower stands inland to the north of Yarmouth; when the tower comes to the southern end of the woods, you are north of the Holms of Yarmouth.

Also, when you come from the north and Winterton original: "Winterdūn" is South-Southwest from you, you are south of the Winterton bank; sail then toward the shore in three or four fathoms until you are at the Cockle. Approximately East and East-by-North from Yarmouth, outside the Holms, lies a bank that has only been there for six or seven years; it is two fathoms deep, but directly to the north and south, it is twenty fathoms deep.

Also, Blakeney original: "Blackeny" is a tidal harbor, and one enters along the shore where buoys original: "tonnen" lie in the channel original: "gat". Between Wells original: "Wels" and Blakeney lies a dry flat called the Pool and Pepper original: "die Pol vnnd Peper"; at the west end of the "Pepper," the channel of Wells enters, which is also marked with buoys in the channel. Four miles west of Wells lies Burnham original: "Bonnum", where the water is very shallow and the dry flats extend far into the sea. The channel of Burnham enters along the shore and is marked with banks on the left hand. And directly to the west lies a deep of three fathoms called Burnham’s Pit original: "Bonnums putte"; otherwise, it is only two fathoms deep for a good three miles out to sea. And when one wishes to sail toward the channel of Lynn original: "Lindt", one must sail close by the chapel, leaving "The Sunk" original: "Zonck," a well-known sandbank toward the sea above the water, and then head South-by-West toward the first buoy in the channel of Lynn.
