Location

Pennant Harbour (44°28'N., 63°38'W.), in the NE part of Pennant Bay, lies NE of Saddle Island and Martin Island. The harbor is entered E of Thrumcap Island, 9.1m high, which lies about 0.2 mile E of Martin Island.

Middle Ground, with a depth of 4m and marked E and W by spar buoys, lies in the approach to the harbor, about 0.5 mile E of the NE extremity of Pennant Island.

A rocky patch, with a depth of 3.7m and marked N and S by spar buoys, lies in the middle of the harbor, about 0.3 mile NE of Thrumcap Island.

There is anchorage for small vessels, in 11 to 12.8m, mud, about 0.2 mile N of Thrumcap Island.

Directions.—A vessel proceeding to Pennant Harbour should steer for a position about 2 miles SSW of Pennant Point, and then bring the W shoulder of Pennant Island into line with Hospital Hill, bearing about 351°. When clear of Broad Shoal, steer to pass 0.1 mile E of Bald Rock and then for Thrumcap Island, passing E of Middle Ground. Vessels should then pass E and N of Thrumcap Island (44°28'N., 63°39'W.) and steer about midway between that island and the 3.7m rocky patch, and as required for anchorage.

Caution.—Two submarine cables extend SE from Pennant Harbour extending beyond the outer limit of the traffic regulating system.
