Location

Port Dover (44°29'N., 63°52'W.), entered between Dover Castle and White Island, is protected from the S by several islands, the largest of which is Taylor Island.

Fleming Island, 12m high, lies about 0.2 mile NE of the E extremity of Taylor Island. Long Island lies about 0.5 mile N of Fleming Island. Callahan Island lies close off the SW side of Long Island. Dover Light is shown from the SE end of the island.

Cabbage Garden Shoals lie about 320m NE of Fleming Island. The NW shoal dries and the SE shoal, with a depth of 2.4m, is called Sand Shoal. Fleming Ledge, 0.6m high, lies about 0.2 mile NE of the N end of Fleming Island. The above dangers in the entrance to Port Dover are buoyed.

Depths—Limitations.—There is an L-shaped pier at West Dover, 43m long with an outer face 21m long. There is a least depth of 4.9m along the outside face and 3.4m on the inside face.

Anchorage.—There is anchorage for small vessels, in 16.5 to 18.3m, mud, between Callahan Island and Fleming Island.

Directions.—Vessels bound for Port Dover should pass SE of the can buoy marking the 3.4m shoal SSE of Black Rock, then when clear of the 4.9m patch about 230m N of Black Rock, alter course NW to pass between Fleming Island on the S, and the spar buoys marking Cabbage Garden Shoals and Fleming Ledge on the N. When N of Fleming Island, alter course for the anchorage.
