REVISION OF 1923.
The object of this book is to show in a concise and uniform manner
information which may be of use to the commanding officer and other
officers of ships of the Navy visiting foreign ports, and which is not
shown so completely in the Hydrographic Office sailing directions
intended for the joint use of the Navy and merchant marine.
The appendix (Ex-Continental Ports) has been added to the pub-
lication since the last Port Directory was issued. Information on
these ports has been arranged along the same line as that on foreign
ports.
The information upon which the compilation is based has been
*7'obtained from reports from cruising ships of the Navy, from files
w of the Office of Naval Intelligence, and from special reports from
i consular officers of the United States, obtained through the courtesy
dof the Department of State.
It is desired to hereby express thanks and appreciation to com-
manding officers, ships' intelligence officers, and to State Depart-
pilation of new data for this volume.
This book has been revised under the direction of the Director of
Naval Intelligence by Lieut. R. H. Grayson, United States Navy.

OFFICIAL VISITS.
EXTRACTS FROM THE KING'S REGULATIONS AND ADMIRALTY INSTRUCTIONS GOVERNING
OFFICIAL VISITS BETWEEN CIVIL OFFICIALS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND FOREIGN NAVAL
OFFICERS.
59 (e). Her Majesty's officers may expect that perfect reciprocity will be observed
in similar circumstances by foreign naval officers in respect to these visits of ceremony.
62. The following procedure in regard to the interchange of visits between naval
officers and governors, lieutenant governors, and administrators of Her Majesty's
colonies and possessions abroad is to be observed:
(a) A governor is to receive the first visit from all naval officers in command.
b) A lieutenant governor is to pay the first visit to a flag officer or commodore of
the first class, being a commander in chief, but to receive the first visit from all other
officers.
(c) An administrator or president is to pay the first visit to all flag officers or commo-
dores, but to receive the first visit from all other officers.
(d) Return visits are to be paid within 24 hours, and in person to all flag officers,
commodores, lieutenant governors, administrators, and presidents; but by an aid-de-
camp or other officer deputed by the governor, lieutenant governor, administrator, or
president, as the case may be, to all other naval officers.
(e) Should the governor or any other officer administering the Government of the
colony find that from indisposition or pressure of important business he is unable to
pay or return these visits in person, he will depute his aid-de-camp, or some other officer
to do 80. In like manner, should a flag officer or commodore from indisposition or
pressing occupation be precluded from paying or returning these visits, he will depute
ħis flag lieutenant or other officer, not below that rank, to do so. In each case the
officer failing to pay the required visit in person will report the circumstance, and
assign the reasons which led to the omission, to the department under which he is
acting.
(f) Officers acting temporarily in higher civil office or commands are in respect to
these visits to be upon the same footing as if they were confirmed in such offices or
commands.

is not made for the use of the stages by boats from war vessels lying
in the river. Landings are lighted and are good at all tides.
Shore boats.--No suitable shore boats available.
Shore leave.—The facilities are good as a liberty port. There are
no restrictions as to the number of men allowed ashore at one time.
It is customary as a matter of courtesy to inform the lord mayor
before granting liberty to enlisted men and to inform the head con-
stable the probable number of men to be landed. The local police
have instructions to show every consideration to men on shore
liberty, to give them necessary information, to protect them from
thieves and annoyance, to turn drunken or disorderly ones over to
their own officers if possible, and if necessary to arrest any, to at once
inform the captain of the ship and the consul of the fact. All the
precautions which are customary in landing men at an important
mercantile port should be observed.
Patrols.-Patrols, with night sticks only, may be landed after
making the necessary arrangements with the head constable of the
city, who will make provision for the patrol at the police stations.
Swimming, bathing, and athletics. -Swimming from the ship an-
chored in the River Munsey should not be allowed, as the currents are
dangerous. Arrangements may be made with the Liverpool Cor-
poration for the use of the public bathing places under their charge.
Bathing trunks must be worn. ' Three miles from Liverpool there is a
beach where swimming may be arranged for.
There are several football and cricket grounds which could be used
by special arrangement for short periods for baseball or football.
Consult town clerk and secretaries of local clubs. .
Shore drills and target practice. It would not be practicable to land
men for drill at this port.
There is a large Government rifle range at Altcar, 8 miles from
Liverpool, but it is not probable that permission could be secured for
its use by men from visiting men-of-war.
Facilities for fresh water.—There is an abundant and excellent
supply of fresh water under control of the Liverpool Corporation.
Fresh water is supplied to ships through hose from hydrants on the
dock quays and on the landing stage at Albert Dock pierhead.
There are no water boats for hire. The Cunard and White Star
Steamship lines have their own steam tenders for carrying fresh
water to their steamers lying in the river. British men-of-war use
their launches for carrying water.
Coaling facilities. No very large supplies of coal are available.
Ships can be rapidly coaled alongside in the wet docks from colliers
or lighters in the stream or from barge transporters. The best
modern coaling machinery is provided, and there are nine big dealers.
Any amount of coal readily available at collieries. About 50,000
tons of fuel oil is usually available at Birkenhead. There are five oil
companies that have stocks of fuel oil. Gasoline available in quan-
tity.

Port regulations.—If more than one or two men-of-war wish to
visit the port at one time arrangements should be made with the
Mersey docks and harbor board beforehand through the consul, on
account of the restricted size of the harbor and the large amount of
merchant shipping frequenting the port.
There are no specific regulations as to movements of men-of-war
or their boats by day or night, or as to the length of stay in the
port of visiting men-of-war. These matters should be arranged
through the consul.
Sanitation and hospitals.—The sanitation of the city and port is
very good in all respects. There are several public and private hos-
pitals where men.could be sent from visiting ships if necessary. .
Any case of infectious disease occurring on board while in port
should be at once reported to the medical officer of health at the
municipal offices, Dale Street, with whom arrangements may be
made for the removal of the case to the hospital. “
Excellent cable, mail, railway, and steamship facilities.

At the British Government dockyards at Chatham and Sheerness
large repairs of all kinds may be made to hulls, boilers, and engines
if permission is first obtained from the British Admiralty. The
granting of such permission would probably depend upon the
amount of work on hand at the dockyards.
Port regulations. There are no restrictions as to the number of
men-of-war allowed in port at one time nor as to duration of stay.
Previous arrangements should be made through the American Em-
bassy, London. Ships may enter the port by day or night. It is

Port regulations.—There are no special regulations for visiting men-
of-war. It would be possible for a fleet to anchor off the mouth of
the Tyne, but the anchorage here is entirely exposed, and only in fine
weather could tugs or boats come alongside. The Tyne is a narrow
river, dredged to a depth of about 30 feet at low water, and it is very
much congested with commercial shipping. It is possible that room
might be obtained for two or three large men-of-war at one time, but
previous arrangements for this should be made with the local port
authorities. A pilot and tugs would be necessary to take the vessel
to the mooring berths assigned in the river.
Sanitation and hospitals. —The sanitation of the ports along the
river is very good. There are many public and private hospitals,
several of them especially for seamen.

commander of visiting war vessels. American consul here. Address:
9 Princess Square.

custom to pay the first call on the mayor. · His address for official
calls is the mayor's parlors, Guildhall, Plymouth.
Naval: The admiral in command of the port of Plymouth; always
a full admiral of distinguished service. This post is at times filled
by some member of the royal family. He is entitled to an admiral's
salute to be fired from anchorage in Plymouth Sound after the
first call should be paid on the British admiral at Admiralty House,
Mount Wise, Devonport. The admiral superintendent of Devon-
port Dockyard is usually a rear admiral, entitled to the salute due
his rank. The first call is usually paid the admiral superintendent
at his residence at Devonport Royal Dockyard.
Military: The colonel in command of the southwestern district:

distinguished service. The British Army and Navy lists should be
consulted to ascertain the names, ranks, and titles of the officers hold-
ing the posts of naval and military command at this port. Address

Quarantine regulations.—The quarantine regulations are those laid
down by the British public health act and the regulations pursuant

location under direction of the King's harbor master. The ground
immediately inside the Plymouth Breakwater is reserved for British
vessels. This anchorage is designated by an imaginary line drawn
from two points indicated by white posts and located on the slopes
of Bovisand and the opposite shore seaward. If several ships pur-
pose visiting the port at one time, it would be advisable for diplo-
matic reasons to communicate with the admiral in command at
Devonport as to anchorage before the arrival of the fleet. Ships
usually ride to single anchor, but mooring buoys are also provided.
If anchorage is crowded, vessels should moor.

tides.
Shore boats.Shore boats may be obtained. There is a prescribed
tariff and specific police regulations. Plymouth being fortified both
landward and seaward with masked batteries, searchlights, etc., along
the shores, it is necessary that no attempt be made to land at any
other point than the regular landing stage. The port is one of the
largest military and naval stations in the world, hence care should be
exercised not to excite suspicion by landing at unusual places at
unusual times.

rangements for using the various athletic grounds may be made
with the staff officer to the commodore, Royal Naval Barracks, Devon-
port; the secretaries of the Plymouth Football Club, the Albion Club,
the Argyle Club, and the Cosmopolitan Club.
Shore drills and target practice. Owing to the fact that Plymouth
is a military port it is not considered proper to request the privileges
of drilling and target practice on shore. There are excellent rifle
ranges, and matches are sometimes arranged between British sailors
and marines and men from visiting men-of-war.

arms and which has military importance and purpose, including auxiliary men-of-
war of any type.
of-war for the purpose of entering regions with defended or undefended coast, roads,
ports, or rivers. Without a permit no foreign man-of-war can enter or stay in a defended
or undefended region, port, road, or river.
3. The regulation of the foregoing paragraph has no reference to vessels which by
damage or perils of the sea (force majeure) are compelled to enter ports or territorial
waters of the Republic.
4. Berth or change of berth, if necessary, of foreign men-of-war in Reval port or
road is fixed and ordered by the staff of naval forces. In other ports or roads where
there are harbor offices this is arranged by the captain of the port in agreement with
the senior commander of the Esthonian men-of-war present.
5. Foreign men-of-war approaching the ports and roads of the Republic are not
obliged to take on a pilot. However, in regions of defended coast, ports, and in roads
where special regulations are in effect, the foreign men-of-war come under those
regulations.
6. If a foreign man-of-war violates the port regulations, the attention of the com-
mander of the men-of-war is drawn to this by the captain of the port or some other
representative of the Republican Government, with a proposal to comply fully with
the regulations. In case the offense is repeated the foreign man-of-war is invited to
leave the port immediately.
7. When entering Reval an officer will be sent to meet the foreign man-of-war by
the staff of the naval forces, or by the senior commander of the Republican man-of-
war stationed in the road. This officer shall offer the facilities of the port to the
commander of the vessel which has arrived. The officer sent to meet the man-of-war
acquaints the commander of the vessel with the place which is fixed as the berth
for his vessel. At the same time he is informed by the commander of the vessel as
to the purpose of the vessel's visit and the period of intended stay, the name of the
commander, and other data necessary in such cases.
8. If, when the officer sent to greet the foreign man-of-war reaches the vessel, it
is already anchored, the berth may be approved or another place fixed.
In other ports or roads the duties mentioned in sections 7 and 8 are fully filled
by the local captain of port or his substitute; in places, however, where there is no
captain of port, by the local chief of coast guards.

entitled to be there under the foregoing regulations, shall at any time upon receiving
notification to that effect weigh anchor and leave the harbor inside of six hours or
change her anchorage in accordance with instructions received.

CHAPTER VI.
GERMANY
REGULATIONS FOR THE ADMISSION AND TREATMENT OF FOREIGN
VESSELS OF WAR IN GERMAN WATERS.
I. War ships and other vessels of war of foreign powers do not require any special
permission for putting into fortified and unfortified German ports and river mouths
and for navigating inland waters. Timely information of the visit in prospect,
communicated through diplomatic channels, is, however, required. Without such
notice foreign vessels of war will not be allowed to pass within the outermost line of
fortifications, nor to remain within the roadstead or harbor or in river mouths and
inland waters, with the exception of the cases mentioned in paragraph II. As
regards the use of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal, see paragraph III.
The number of vessels of war of the same foreign power that will be allowed to
stay at the same time in a fortified or unfortified port will generally be restricted to
three. For an exception to this rule consent will be necessary, obtained through
diplomatic channels.
II. The above rules will not be applied-
(a) To such ships as may have on board sovereigns, members of the families of
sovereigns, presidents of republics or their suites, or the ambassadors or envoys at
the capital of the Republic;
(6) To such ships and vessels as may be compelled by stress of weather or injury
to put into a German port.
III. Foreign vessels of war must not pass through the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal unless
permission to do so shall have been obtained through diplomatic channels.
IV. In such ports as are fortified or occupied by a garrison, without being stations
of a chief of naval station, the commander of pilots or the harbor master shall without
delay inform the officer in command of the approach and arrival of any foreign war
ship.
The officers in command shall directly inform by telegraph the general headquarters
of the army corps concerned, the headquarters of the naval station of the North Sea
or Baltic Sea, the admiral staff of the Navy, and the Navy office of the arrival of
foreign war ships or vessels of war.
In such ports as are not occupied by any garrison, the police authority shall inform
by telegraph the authorities mentioned of the arrival of any foreign war ships or
vessels of war.
V. Only the chief of naval station or officer in command, as the case may be, is
authorized to assign foreign war ships and vessels their anchorage places, and to
require them to shift them. if necessary. He shall come to an understanding with
the customs authority in order to be able to pay due regard to the interests of the
latter when assigning anchorage berths.
VI. The pilots at the fortified ports must be instructed whether any foreign war
ships, or which and how many, may put in without having obtained permission
beforehand, or whether such permission must be previously obtained and where
the ships are to be anchored or moored. The officer in command, moreover, as far
as the interests of the navigation police or harbor police are involved shall obtain
the opinion of the commander of pilots or the harbor master and observe it as far as
practicable.
VII. The ships and vessels of foreign navies are not obliged to take a pilot for
putting into a roadstead or anchorage. Within the lines of fortification of a German
port, however, they are subject to the police regulations of the same.
VIII. If the harbor police regulations are violated by a foreign war ship or vessel,
the attention of the commander of the ship must first be called to the fact and careful
observance of such regulations be insisted upon. Should such steps not be sufficient,
the competent authority, in case of imminent danger, shall interfere according to
his own discretion, or, if it is not a case of urgency, obtain the directions of superior
authority.
IX. When a foreign warship, vessel, or squadron crosses the line of fortifications
from seaward an officer will be sent by the chief of station or officer in command to
f

OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
meet and welcome them. If the place does not belong to the war ports such officer
will be accompanied by the commander of pilots or the harbor master.
X. The officer will inform the commander of the ship or squadron whether it inay
touch and how long it may stay in the roadstead or harbor. The officer or the com-
mander of pilots or harbor master will, if proper, indicate to the commander of the
ship or squadron the place of anchorage and inform him of the pertinent provisions
of the harbor police regulations. The officer will further inquire the name and rank
of the commanding officer of the ship or squadron, the names of the ships, the strength
of their armament and complements, the port of departure, the purpose of the visit,
the intended length of stay, and the sanitary state of the complement. If the com-
manding officer of the ship or squadron acquaints this officer of his intentions to stay
in the roads or to put into the harbor the officer will offer himself to accompany an
officer to be sent to the chief of station or to the officer in command for reporting.
. XI. When, in case of exception, a foreign warship or vessel crosses the line of
fortification from seaward at night, the welcoming officer will not be sent until the
following morning. The ship may anchor at will or, in case she took a pilot, according
to the direction of the latter, but she will be obliged to change her anchorage as soon
as requested to do so by the commander of station or officer in command.
XII. In case the officer sent for welcoming should not arrive on board a foreign
warship or vessel entering in the daytime until she has already anchored or made fast,
the prescribed welcoming, information, and inquiries, as well as the subsequent
confirmation of the anchoring place chosen or the assigned or some other anchorage
place, will take place nevertheless.
XIII. When the officer in command of a foreign warship or squadron does not show
to the officer sent to welcome him his willingness to send an officer to report the ships
to the chief of station or to the officer in command, the former officer will at once
retum and report to the chief of station or to the officer in command.
XIV. When the harbor fortification is possessed of a sufficient garrison a saluting
battery will be established. This battery will fly the German war flag. The flag
will be shown as soon as a warship may approach. The salute fired by foreign warships
or vessels before anchoring, or in exceptional cases later on, will, after the last shot,
be at once returned by that battery, gun for gun. The foreign warships will be
informed thereof by the pilots they may employ.
XV. When a foreign warship or vessel, after having been informed by an officer
by order of the chief of station or officer in command, that she may not be allowed to
cross the line of fortification or some other limit situated within the roadstead or
harbor, does, notwithstanding, continue on her course, without being compelled to
do so by stress of weather or injury, to be indicated by the usual signals, she will
first be warned by the works of the harbor fortifications by two rounds, the first of
which shall be directed 400 meters clear of the ship, the second 200 meters. When,
nevertheless, the ship shall continue on her course, the gunfire of the harbor fortifi-
cations will be directed first against her masts and then against her hull.
The same proceeding will take place when the ship is anchored within the range of
the fortress guns, and after having been informed by the chief of station that she
may not be allowed to remain any longer within the harbor or roadstead, does refuse
to leave her anchorage.
When a ship, notwithstanding such notification, does move or anchor within the
line of fortification but out of reach of the fortress guns, the chief of station or the
officer in command is authorized to take any other steps to drive the ship away.
XVI. In case of a foreign warship or vessel putting into an unfortified harbor, the
harbor police authorities will obtain the information prescribed in Paragraph X, and
will without delay report it to the senior of the garrison in the harbor or otherwise to
the provincial police authority. The competent general headquarters of the army
and the headquarters of the naval station of the Baltic Sea or North Sea, respectively,
will at once be informed of the report.
QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.
GENERAL POINTS.
All ocean vessels entering German harbors or unloading or anchorage places are
required to pass quarantine. This examination is not to cut off communication with
the mainland, delay the disembarkation of the travelers, or unduly impede the loading
or unloading of the cargo.
If the vessel has a case or cases of highly contagious diseases on board (such as
smallpox, yellow fever, plague, cholera, etc.) the ship's officers can prohibit disem-
barkation until after satisfactory investigation by quarantine officers.
168
PORT DIRECTORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
The patients are to be taken on land and placed in a hospital or other suitable place
when in the opinion of the official physician such disembarkation is advisable in the
interest of preventing the spread of the disease. Disinfection is also done under his
orders and jurisdiction.
The vessel is always subject to a thorough investigation by competent quarantine
officers immediately upon arrival in the following cases:
1. If the vessel in the harbor of departure or during the journey, especially the last.
six weeks of such journey, has had a case of Asiatic cholera, spotted fever, yellow fever,
plague, or smallpox on board.
2. If there has been a plague of rats or an extraordinary rat mortality.
3. If the vessel leaves a harbor or touches a harbor during the journey which is
listed on the German quarantine regulations as being infected and there has not been a
period of six weeks between such debarkation and arrival at the German port.
The above-mentioned examination is done away with when the vessel has passed
qualified quarantine regulations at some port before arrival at the German port. If
the vessel has also undergone a thorough examination in some foreign harbor and in
the interim no one of the above cited cases has occurred, and the said vessel can furnish
indisputable documentary evidence of such examination and its results, then a further
examination in the German port is unnecessary. The competent medical officer is
qualified to decide in this case whether the measures already taken are sufficient. If
in the third mentioned case a vessel has only disembarked passengers and their lug-
gage or mail matter without coming into any direct contact with the land, then it may
be considered as not having touched such harbor.
In so far as the question is one of yellow fever, the above-mentioned examina-
tion generally takes place only in the period between May 15 and September 15.
Every vessel subject to such examination must raise a yellow flag on the foremast
immediately upon entering the harbor channels, and in all events just as soon as it
comes within sight of the harbor itself.
The vessel without prejudice to the taking on of a pilot is not permitted to have
any communication with the land or another ship with the exception of the customs
boat, and also may not take down the prescribed quarantine flag above described be-
fore it has been permitted to do so by the competent harbor authorities.
Private individuals are prohibited from having any communication of any kind
with a vessel flying the yellow flag. Any person or persons transgressing this regula-
tion will be treated as members of the vessel itself.
The pilot or the harbor authorities through a questionnaire put to the captain of the
vessel or his representative have to decide whether or not the vessel in question is
liable to medical examination as above described. If this is the case, then the captain
or his representative must be furnished with a printed questionnaire. The questions
appearing on this questionnaire must be answered completely and truthfully by the
captain or ship's pilot, or in the event that there is a ship physician, then by the
captain and this physician (the latter only answering the questions 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17,
and 18), so that the same may be duly sworn to by them. They must swear to the
truth of their statements over their own signature. This questionnaire, the other
medical reports of the vessel, the ship’s articles containing the list of passengers, and
all other papers indicating the ports of call and the days and dates of such call must
be placed at the disposition of the harbor authorities.
Every ship liable to such medical examination is subject to such immediately after
arrival through a competent official medical officer except during the night.
If this medical examination shows that the vessel has had a case of Asiatic cholera
or Oriental plague of boils on board during the seven days preceding arrival, or has
such at the time of its arrival, or that a more dangerous case is on board or has been on
board during the preceding seven days, that there has been a plague of rats either in
the port of debarkation or during the journey, or that there had been an extraordinary
rat mortality either in the port of debarkation or during the journey, then the national
medical authorities and the National Health Department must be telegraphically
informed of this, and likewise when there has been a case of yellow fever, smallpox,
spotted fever, or leprosy.
SPECIAL REGULATIONS.
The harbor authorities are authorized to undertake other and more complete meas-
ures than those hereinbefore set forth when the vessel is carrying immigrants or emi.
grants or exhibits other deficient health conditions.
Every vessel which refuses to undergo the measures prescribed by the quarantine
regulations and officers, has the right to put out to sea again. It can, however, obtain
the permission to unload its cargo after the necessary precautionary measures have
been taken. For instance:
1. Isolation of the vessel and its passengers and crew.
PORT DIRECTORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
169
2. Disinfection and discharging of the bilge water and replacing the drinking water
on board with fresh drinking water where the vessel is subject to examination on ac-
count of the presence of cholera.
3. Information in regard to the rat mortality when the vessel is subject to examination
on account of pest.
The ship can also be permitted to land passengers when such have passed the neces-
sary examination and regulations.
If the vessel within 10 days after its arrival in port has one or more cases of leprosy,
cholera, spotted fever, yellow fever, pest, smallpox, or rat plague on board, or there
has been an undue rat mortality, it is then subject to the ordinary regulations, and the
length of the isolation and observation of persons suspected of contagion is measured
from the last opportunity of contagion.
If such is desired, a report has to be furnished to the captain or ship company relative
to the medical measures undertaken and the reasons therefor, especially in connection
with the rat mortality.
Also, any passenger arriving on a plague-stricken vessel has to be furnished with a
printed form showing the measures to be undertaken in his particular case which will
touch his person and his luggage.
If cargo has been disinfected or stored then the owner of such or his qualified repre-
sentative may demand a certificate in this sense.
The pilots, customs, or medical authorities obliged to come in contact with the
vessel are not subject to the above-described regulations or restrictions. Their par-
ticular cases are handled by their superior officers.
The arrangement and carrying out of the necessary regulations is the duty of the
Government officials. Plague-stricken ships or those suspected of being such may be
turned over to a proper quarantine station when such is deemed advisable.
If the vessel strands on the German coast then the coast authorities have the neces-
sary authority in this instance.
If a vessel is obliged to put into some German port it can there procure the necessary
assistance upon raising the yellow flag and placing itself under the observation of the
regulations prescribed by the competent harbor authorities of the port in question.
Any infringement of the prescribed regulations is punishable by imprisonment up
to two years. If a person takes the contagious disease as the result of such infringe-
ment, then the responsible person is punishable by imprisonment from three months
up to three years.
QUARANTINE REGULATIONS ON THE ELBE.
The Cuxhaven national pilots after coming on board a vessel must establish the fact
as to whether the vessel is subject to quarantine or whether the existing medical
conditions on board the vessel are satisfactory and in conformity with the require-
ments. If such is not the case then the vessel must be brought to anchor at Groden.
The roads at Altenbruch are used as a quarantine anchor place at night.
QUARANTINE REGULATIONS ON THE WESER.
The quarantine station for the lower Weser is situated in Bremerhaven.
Emden.-A quarantine station with accommodations for 54 persons is situated on
the east side of the inner harbor directly alongside of the Neserland Locks.
Kiel.—The quarantine hospital is located in the woods at Vossbrok north of the
mouth of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal. There are accommodations for 24 patients. The
depth at the landing place here is 4.5 meters.
PILOTAGE, PILOT VESSELS, STATIONS.
General points-Pilots are stationed out at sea or by the mouths of the rivers. They
are on pilot or sail boats and the harbor pilots also use rowboats. The pilots are obliged
to report any customs irregularities coming to their notice and to prevent such if it
is in their power.
General pilot signals--By day: (1) The national flag (the pilot flag) raised on the
foremast and surrounded by a white band one-fifth of the width of the flag. (2) The
international signal "PT". (3) The international signal flag “S” with or without
the international signal-code pennant above it. (4) The distance signal consisting of
a cone with the point turned upward and two balls or ball-like objects raised above it.
By night: (1) Blue fire at intervals of 15 minutes. (2) A bright white light visible
for a minute over the bulwark and repeated after short intervals.
Elbe River pilots-There is no obligation to employ the services of pilots either
for entering or leaving the lower Elbe. Pilot charges are made, however, for the
170
PORT DIRECTORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
distance from the sea to the Elbe Pilot Station irrespective of the use of the pilots.
This is valid for ships of 135 register tons or over, but the actual services of a pilot
are not obligatory for such ships. Even when a pilot is taken on, the command of the
ship still remains in the hands of her captain. Deep draft ships which are proceeding
up the Elbe farther than the mouth of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal should never fail
to make use of the services of a pilot even when such may not be obligatory. The
navigation here is very difficult for one not familiar with the locality and conditions.
All pilots on the Elbe, with the exception of the Cuxhaven National Pilots, are members
of a pilot union.
Ocean pilots or the Cuxhaven National Pilots, 130 in number, are under the orders
and jurisdiction of the commander and pilot inspector in Cuxhaven. There are six
pilot schooners and three pilot steamers for bringing the pilots on board the ships.
Of these six schooners, three with pilots (10) on board piy between the Nordeney fire
ship and the mouth of the Elbe, one easterly from the Nordeney fire ship, another
northerly from the Weser fire ship, and a third southwest of Helgoland. The other
three lay in reserve. The fire ship Elbe III also furnishes pilots. There are also three
other pilot steamers on hand for this service. One proceeds 3 kilometres north of the
Westerhill buoy, a second close inside the fire ship Elbe I, while both supply new
pilots to the pilot schooners returning to the Elbe and also furnish new pilots to ships
which have not already received such from the aforementioned schooners. During
stormy weather when the placing of pilots on ships is dangerous or if the supply of
pilots is on the wane, the steamers run clear to the fire ship Elbe III. Ocean pilots
can also be taken on in Cuxhaven.
Pilot schooners and steamers have a fore and aft r?g and are painted white. They
have no foremast but bear a red pennant on the top of the head mast and underneath
this, as long as pilots can still be supplied, there is the Hamburg admiralty flag. The
schooners have the name “Elbe" and their numb r in the foresail. Pilot steamer
Elbe 3 has a wireless telegraph. If there are no more pilots on board these ships or
if the weather is too bad to permit their being sent out, the admiralty flag is taken
down. If for any reason during the night pilots can not be sent out from the fire ship
Elbe III, this will not answer the pilot signals.
At night the pilot boats have a white light on the front masthead (to distinguish
them from the Weser pilots who carry the fore light on the topmast), and in addition
to this every 15 minutes show three quickly repeated flare-up lights to distinguish
them from the Weser and Jade Pilots.
Ships which desire to take on Elbe pilots during the day must show the ordinary
pilot flag in the foremast, and at night must burn a flare-up light or have a lantern
over the bow. All ships in the Cuxhaven roads which desire to drop a pilot or other- :
wise get in connection with the land during the day must raise a flag halfway on the
foremast and during the night must burn a flare-up light over the bow until the ·
desired response is received. The call signal for an ocean or harbor pilot in Cuxhaven
is a pilot flag raised on the foremast during the day, and three quickly repeated
flare-up fires at night. In the case of fog or cloudy weather, one long whistle, three
short ones, and then a long one is the signal for a pilot on the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal.
Captains of ships proceeding to Hamburg are forbidden to raise a pilot signal until
Neumühlen has been passed. Below Neumühlen, all ships that desire a pilot for
Altona, give the ordinary pilot signal; those that desire a pilot for. Hamburg during
the day raise the national pilot flag or the signal "PT" of the international signal
code over a pennant, and by night must burn two white lanterns side by side over
the bow.
The fire ships Elbe IV and Elbe II are dropping stations for the pilots leaving
ocean-going vessels, and are fitted with motor boats. Ships that desire to drop pilots
must raise the pilot flag in ample time or give the fire signal by night, which will be
answered by the fire ship in so far as it is able to comply with the request. If stormy
weather prevents the fire ship Elbe II from taking on the pilots, this, as well as the
fire ship Elbe IV, must raise a red flag in the foremast; at night in place of this red
flag, a red light 1.5 m. vertically over the anchor lantern. When the red flag is
raised on the fire ship Elbe II, fire ship Elbe III likewise raises a red flag in the fore-
mast and leaves it there until the fire ship Elbe IV also raises a red flag in the foremast.
If Elbe II raises this signal but not Elbe IV, the ship must turn her course back to
the Elbe IV. If fire ship Elbe II hauls down the red flag as a signal that pilots can
again be dropped, then fire ship Elbe III exhibits the answering pennant of the
international signal code in the foremast until the fire ship Elbe IV takes down the
red flag as an indication that pilots can be dropped from the Elbe II. If after dark-
ness, stormy weather prevents the Elbe II from taking on the pilots, it raises a red
light over the anchor lantern and at the same time a white light at the very top of
the foremast. The fire ship Elbe III raises a white light on the foremast until the

Elbe IV replies in like manner as an indication that the latter has placed a red light
over the anchor lantern. The white lights are then to be taken down, first by the
Elbe III, and then by the Elbe II and Elbe IV. If for any reason the pilots have
to be fetched in row boats in place of motor boats, then the fire ship replies by burning
a red fire instead of the flare-up light. The fire ships Elbe II and Elbe IV show a
red lantern over the railing if ships must turn about on account of the wind and
current.
River pilots.-The river pilotage is handled by the Prussian and Hamburg pilots
who are members of the several unions. There are Bösch pilots who handle the
pilot service from the Bösch pilot station on the locks of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal
to Hamburg, and branch pilots who take care of it from this point on down the Elbe;
the latter are only permitted to go up the Elbe if there are no more pilots at the Bösch
station.
Ships destined for Glückstadt can make use of the two Glückstadt pilots, who can
come to the ship in ordinary boats without any special distinguishing marks. The
pilot service on the Stör is handled by the Stör pilots residing in Itzehoe.
Ships from Hamburg-Altona to Harburg or reversed make use of appointed pilots
of whom some are stationed in Neumühlen and others in Harburg. Pilot service
is not obligatory.
In the harbor of Hamburg ships are brought to the anchorage places and outgoing
ships taken out of the harbor by regularly appointed so-called harbor pilots. Ocean
vessels of more than 150 tons may demand a pilot for entering the harbor, changing
anchorage, and leaving the harbor, but can not be forced to make use of one. Ships
entering the harbor and requiring the services of a pilot during the day must raise
the national flag with the pilot flag in the foremast, and by night must show a white
lantern over the bow, but should not do so before passing Neumühlen. Requests
for pilot service in leaving the 'harbor must be directed to the harbor authorities of
the district in which the vessel happens to be.
Weser pilots.-The Weser pilots are also members of a union. The ocean pilots
bring the vessels into Bremerhaven and from there out to the ocean. Pilot service
farther inland is handled by the river pilots. The pilot service on the Weser is not
obligatory and there is no pilot tax whether pilot service is rendered or not. There
are three ocean-pilot unions, a Bremen, a Prussian, and an Oldenburg, each in pos-
session of two schooners operating under the jurisdiction of the Bremen division.
These pilot steamers cover the following districts: (1) In sight of the fire ship Weser.
(2) Diagonally from Langeoog in the course of steamers going toward the Weser. (3)
North of Nordeney in depths of 20 to 26 meters. (4) In a radius of 4 kilometres from
the fire ship Borkum-Riff. There is a pilot steamer in the mouth of the Weser for
taking on pilots. The Bremen pilot office is located in Bremerhaven, the Prussian in
Geestemünde, and the Oldenburg in Blexen.
The Weser pilot boats are black fore-and-aft schooners without foremasts; they bear
a black “W” in the foresail and, as long as there are pilots on board, the Bremen flag
in the mainmast. At night they carry a white light in the mainmast and burn à
flare-up light every 15 minutes. (The Elbe pilots burn three, the Jade pilots two.)
The Bremen River pilots serve on the Weser from Bremerhaven out to the city of
Bremen and on the Lesum from Vegesack to Burg. The river pilot station is situated
on the northern mole of the Old Harbor (entrance of the Geeste). The Oldenburg
River pilots serve from Bremerhaven to all Oldenburg harbors up to Lemwerder and
back to the Bremerhaven roads. For all harbors on the Hunte from Elsfleth to
Oldenburg there are special pilots stationed in Elsfleth or Oldenburg who carry the
vessels from Brake to Oldenburg and reverse, and from Oldenburg to Bremen and
Bremerhaven. Pilot service is obligatory for the course between Elsfleth and Olden-
burg for all ocean steamers, irrespective of size and draft, as well as for all other vessels
whose draft is 3 meters and over or whose tonnage is 350 tons and over.
Ships that desire a pilot for Brake, Nordenham, or other Oldenburg harbors along
the Weser must raise the flag "P" in the foremast and give a long steam whistle of at
least 10 seconds duration. At night they must raise a white light over the bow or
burn a single flare-up light and give the same whistle. Ships that desire a harbor
pilot from Geestemünde during the day must raise the flags "PT" in the foremast
and give two steam whistles of at least 10 seconds duration each. At night they must
give two long whistles and burn two flare-up lights. Ships that desire a pilot for
Bremen or Vegesack during the day must raise the flags “PTQ” in the foremast and
give three steam whistles of at least 10 seconds duration each. At night they must
burn a flare-up light, repeated three times after short intermissions, and give three
steam whistles of at least 10 seconds duration each. These provisions are only valid
for the roads of Bremerhaven-Geestemünde.

Jade pilots. The pilot steamers Jade and Rüstringen have wireless telegraph. The
pilot steamers for the Jade are stationed in good weather between the fire ships Weser
and Aussenjade during the day and during the night in sight of the fire ship Weser.
The Jade pilots are naval pilots. If pilots are taken on or dropped at sea in front of
the Jade, the naval pilot station in Wilhelmshaven must be correspondingly notified
in ample time. Ships leaving these waters must make written application to the
station in Wilhelmshaven. Merchant vessels of 500 tons and over are obliged to
make use of the services of naval pilots, likewise incoming and outgoing vessels of
over 225 tons, and for vessels of 170 tons entering or leaving the inner harbor basins.
Merchant vessels falling under pilotage regulations, but which are thoroughly familiar
with the Jade, can file requests with the naval station in the North Sea to be freed
from this obligation.
The Jade pilot boats are painted black and carry the national service flag on the
mainmast. The pilot schooners have no foremasts and no indications in the sails.
At night besides the required lights every 15 minutes they must burn two long flare-up
lights, repeated after short intervals, to distinguish them from the Weser pilots, who
burn one, and the Elbe pilots, who burn three flare-up fires. When the fire ships
Aussenjade and Minsenersand can send out pilots they carry a pilot flag on the gaff of
the mizzenmast. At night there is no especial indication. If vessels signal for a,
pilot, two quickly repeated flare-up lights are given as a reply that pilots can be
sent out.
Ships entering these waters and already in possession of a pilot must raise the
standard “B” of the international signal code on the foremast and swing a white light
at night on the side of the side lights of the fire ship Aussenjade.
The dropping station for pilots of outgoing vessels are the pilot boats in front of the
Jade, or in case of their absence, the fireship Aussenjade and in stormy weather, also
the fireship Minsenersand. Outgoing ships desiring to drop the pilot must fiy the pilot
flag in the foremast during the day, and at night give two long flare-up lights repeated
at short intervals. The pilot boat replies in the affirmative by raising a red flag on the
yards. If stormy weather or some other reason prevents the taking up of the pilots,
then the red flag is raised at half-mast. The affirmative answer at night is 2 long flare-
up lights repeated at short intervals. The negative answer is a red light raised 11
meters over the white anchor lantern.
Eider pilots.-The Eider galiot is the pilot station. These pilots serve on the Hever,
in the Norder and Süderpiep and from the Eider to the Elbe. Pilotage is obligatory
for all steamers and sailing vessels of more than 3 meters draft from the Eider galiot to
Tönning. Likewise on the lower Eider, such is obligatory for all steamships excepting
those of less than 25 meters beam and 2.68 meters draft, and for towboats with one or
more tows not longer than 22 meters and a draft not exceeding 2 meters which are under
the command of a captain who is a licensed pilot for this district. There are five pilots
for the outer Eider to Tönning, three of these are usually on the Eider galiot, and two
in Tönning. If the galiot has no pilots on board, a white flag is raised on the mizzen-
mast, and the vessels can then proceed without pilots. If the galiot has had to leave
her post and the Government steamer Triton II is not on hand to take her place, incom-
ing steamers which desire pilot service must telegraph to the pilot station in Tönning.
Outgoing steamers order the pilots from the harbor master at Tönning.
Ems pilots.-Pilot service is not obligatory and there is no pilot tax. The pilots are
on black fore-and-aft schooners that carry the German national flag on the top of the
mainmast with a blue flag with a white “E' underneath, and in the two gaff sails the
name "Ems.” At night they burn a long flare-up light every 15 minutes. They
carry the top light close in front of the mainmast on the stay.
One pilot schooner is stationed east of the bearing Riffgat-Heultonne northwest-
southsouthwest, and the other from the fireship Borkum-Riff to the buoy"Westerems."
In the case of northerly storms, they go farther out toward the sea. The ocean pilots
bring the vessels to Emden, where another pilot is taken on if the vessel is proceeding
farther inland, or a harbor pilot can be taken on for the harbor.
Helgoland pilots.—These can be ordered from the signal station, Helgoland,
There are no pilots for Lister Tief, Vortrapptief, Schmaltief, Norder, and Süderaue.
The naval pilots on the Jade are trained from the waters about Sylt, Steenodde, and
in Husum. The harbor police in Nordeney supply the pilots for the Nordeney Seegat.
From the steering buoy on, pilots can not be reckoned on.
Altona.-Harbor pilots on hand. Pilot house on the west end of the harbor quay.
Pilotage not obligatory. Ocean vessels of more than 150 tons will be furnished with
pilots upon request—these are only advisors of the captain, who remains in charge of
the vessel.
Brake.—Vessels of 200 tons and over are obliged to make use of the services of a har-
bor pilot. River pilots can be ordered from the harbor master.

PORT DIRECTORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
173
Bremen.-The Bremen River pilots who bring the vessels to Bremerhaven, where a
change of pilots takes place are under the jurisdiction of the harbor master of Bremen.
Bremerhaven.—The signal for a harbor pilot is a pilot flag in the shroud.
Cuxhaven.—Vessels that desire to drop a pilot in Cuxhaven must raise a flag halfway
up the foremast, and at night burn a flare-up fire over the bow. The signal for a pilot,
either ocean or harbor, is a pilot flag raised on the foremast during the daytime and
three short flare-up fires at night.
Delfzijl.—This is the station of the Dutch Ems pilots.
Emden.--This is the headquarters of the German Ems Pilot Association. No vessel
of over 500 tons is permitted to enter the harbor without a pilot when such has not
been distinctly authorized by the harbor authorities. Ocean vessels that desire a pilot
for entering the harbor have to raise the national flag and the pilot flag during the day,
and at night must raise a moving lantern (white) over the bow, or give the other pilot
signals. The steamer Torum supplies the pilots and operates from the locks out.
Geestemunde.—Vessels exceeding 200 tons are required to have a pilot.
Hamburg:-Harbor pilots bring the vessels to the anchoring places, and in the case
of outgoing vessels, to the current.
Harburg._Vessels from Hamburg-Altona to Harburg are piloted by specially ap-
pointed pilots, of whom some are to be found in Altona and some in Harburg. Other
pilots may always be found in the Altona ferryhouse. The pilots are likewise harbor
pilots for Harburg. Pilotage is not obligatory.
Helgoland.–Pilots are to be ordered through the signal station. The naval pilots
in Wilhelmshaven are also familiar with these waters.
Kiel.--Pilotage is not obligatory in Kiel Förde. The pilots approach the vessels
in motor or rowboats and carry the national pilot flag. There are five so-called per-
manent pilots and two assistant pilots. The four pilots stationed in Labö serve the
incoming vessels in turn when these vessels are destined for Kiel, Holtenau, and
Schwentine. The permanent pilot in Kiel takes charge of the ocean pilotage, and
to Eckernförde, Heiligen Harbor, and the Flensburger Förde as well as to and from
all places in the Kiel Förde, and call for assistance from the permanent pilots in Labö.
There is a further assistant pilot stationed in Labö and Kiel, but these are not author-
ized or obliged to perform pilotage service as long as permanent pilots are available.
The pilots are under the jurisdiction of the National Pilot Service as well as the
harbor inspector in Kiel. As from 30 September, 1922, the tariff for the Kiel Canal
Pilots for the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal (Kiel).--All vessels using the canal are obliged
to make use of pilots when they have not been otherwise authorized. The canal
authorities decide in the case of tows as to whether further pilotage is necessary outside
of the captain or the pilots already on board. The pilots are only advisers of the ship's
officers who bear all responsibility. Ships of following dimensions can now use
the canal: Draft 9.5 meters, beam 40 meters, length 215 meters, masthead height
above the waterline 40 meters. Speed of 15 km. per hour may now be used.
(24 August, 1922.)
Canal pilot stations.-Stations are situated in Brunsbüttelkoog, Holtenau in the
immediate proximity of the canal mouth, and in Nübbel, where there is a change of
pilots under the jurisdiction of a chief pilot. The canal pilots come on board generally
near Brunsbüttelkoog on the Elbe outside of the canal roads, at Holtenau between
the Friedrichsort light tower and the mouth of the canal, and in the case of vessels
coming from Kiel, on the roads of Holtenau. In Brunsbüttelkoog the canal pilot
house is situated on the peninsula between the two front harbors, and the Elbe pilot
house is on the east side of the old front harbor.
Canal pilot signals.-Vessels desiring a canal pilot during the day must raise the
national pilot flag on the foremast or the signal "PT" of the international signal code,
both with the answering pennant underneath (to distinguish them from the inter-
national ocean pilot signals). By night, two white lights placed at least 1 meter
distant side by side on the bow over the railing. Counter signals “Understood"
are only made by the canal pilot stations at Holtenau and Brunsbüttelkoog at night,
and these are three white lights, one under the other, on the entrance signal mast
and under the signal for the entrance. This signal is stopped as soon as the pilot
is en route for the vessel. If, for any reason, pilots can not be sent on board, the pilot
stations raise the pennant “D” of the international signal code under the national
service flag, on both sides of the mouth of the canal; at night there are three red
lights, one under the other.
Leer.—Pilotage is obligatory for ocean vessels of 500 tons and over when the harbor
authorities have not distinctly authorized the contrary Ocean vessels requiring the
services of a pilot during the day must raise the pilot flag on the foremast, and at
night must show a white movable lantern over the bow.

Memel.-Ocean pilotage is obligatory for incoming and outgoing vessels. I'rom
this obligation the following are exempt:
1. German war vessels and other vessels (national), as well as private vessels under
the command of naval officers.
2. The vessels belonging to the national harbor authorities in Memel, as well as the
Vessels used by them for pilotage purposes.
3. Open vessels of every kind.
4. Lighters of every kind.
5. Entirely or partially covered vessels of not more than 2.85 meters draft or not
more than 170 tons, but this only when leaving the harbor and when they have
reported beforehand at the pilot office in Memel.
6. The ships plying regularly between Memel and the other Baltic harbors and
steamers not exceeding 4.5 meters draft when their captains have satisfactorily passed
the Memel Harbor Commission's examination in connection with these waters. Under
certain circumstances a pilot can be requested for ships of lesser draft.
7. Incoming ships when there are not sufficient pilots to meet the demand or when
stormy weather, ice, etc., prevent the ocean pilots meeting the vessels in the roads.
The station is supplied with 4 chief pilots, 13 ocean pilots, and 3 assistant pilots.
A chief harbor pilot and six harbor pilots are under the orders of the harbor master.
All pilots are officials. Pilotage is only performed during the day. Ocean pilots
meet the vessels in a pilot steamer or a steam launch in the roads. These boats carry
the service flag of the Prussian Pilot Service. If the weather is so bad that the pilots
can not go on board the vessels, then the flag is taken down. If a red flag is raised
instead of this, then the wind, weather, and depth permit entrance in the Seegat
and the incoming vessel must follow the pilot steamer. As long as ships at sea can
be supplied with pilots, a yellow flag is raised over the top of the large light tower.
There are no pilotage charges.
Nordeney.-Fishermen familiar with the locality act as pilots and are supplied
by the harbor authorities in Nordeney. The pilots come out as far as the steering
buoy. Pilots can not be counted on.
Stettin.–Pilots accompany the vessels from the harbor limits at Züllchow up to the
anchorage place and serve also within the harbor limits. A representative of the
ship company notifies the appropriate authorities of the arrival of the vessel. Pilot-
age is not obligatory within the harbor limits. Pilots only serve as advisers of the
ship captain.
Stralsund.–Pilotage is obligatory for the course from the Stralsund Roads to Stral-
sund Harbor. Excepted from this regulation are vessels up to 212 tons. The pilot
station is supplied with a head pilot and five assistants, who are all officials and are
under the orders of the pilot office in Stralsund. The pilots bring ships in and out of
the harbor of Stralsund" to Barhöft, Wittower Posthaus, Thiessow, Ruden, and other
places lying within this district, and out to the western channels. The harbor pilots
use rowboats to come to the vessels. If vessels under 212 tons make use of the services
of a pilot they must pay the established fee therefor.
Pilots are also stationed at Wittower Posthaus. Pilotage is obligatory from the
ocean to the Vitter Bodden, Stralsund, Barhöft, and reversed. All covered
ships destined for the Libben up to 100 tons and those from Wittower Posthaus to the
Stralsund Roads up to 150 tons are exempt from pilotage obligations.
The pilots are required to perform pilotage services, when so required, to Wiek
and Dornbusch. The pilots use sailboats and meet the vessels as far as outside Dorn-
busch and Dranske-Huk; these sailboats carry the national service flag for pilot boats.
If heavy storms prevent the sending out of pilots, this is signaled by the international
signal "TJP." In this event the pilot boats wait in the channel and direct the
incoming ship by proceeding in advance. This station is supplied with one head pilot
and five under pilots, who are officials and are under the orders of the pilot office in
Stralsund.
Swinemunde.—The station has a head pilot, a pilot office assistant, 4 upper pilots,
37 ocean pilots, and 24 river pilots. Pilotage is obligatory for ship proceeding to
Swinemunde. From this obligation are exempt: German warships and vessels
up to 210 tons, but also pilotage may be ordered in these cases under certain circum-
stances. Only in cases of the greatest urgency, when there is danger for men and
ships, can a ship enter these waters without the services of a pilot.
When the weather renders it possible in any way, the pilots meet the vessels on
one of the pilot steamers Delphin, Blitz, and the steam launch Schwalbe in excep-
tional cases also in sailboats. These boats carry the German pilot flag by day, the
steamers on the top of aft mast, and the steam launch on a pole. At night there are
the required lights.

Incoming ships may be quite sure of finding pilots at Swinemunde at any time.
If bad weather prevents the pilots coming on board, the pilot steamer raises a red
flag and runs close up to the incoming vessel that is obliged to follow inits keel water.
The boarding of a pilot may be expected between the head of the eastern mole and
the wind buoy. Pilots can also be supplied at night when such may be necessary.
During foggy or cloudy weather, the pilot steamer remains in the neighborhood of
the entrance buoy in the roads and gives the necessary fog signals with double
steam whistle. The ocean pilots may pilot ships from Swinemunde to the ocean and
the reverse, while the river pilots act from Swinemunde to Stettin. From the front
pilot station, a small brownish-red tower on the base of the western mole, the sighting
city. This message is given by means of the telephone.
Wilhelmshaven. Outgoing ships demand pilots, either, by written requests to the
Naval Filot Service, or through written or telephone requests to the pilot station
situated at the II entrance, where there is a day and night service. It is advisable
to make these requests in ample time, since the pilots often live at great distances
from the pilot station.
Warnemünde.--Pilotage is obligatory for incoming and outgoing vessels as well as for
ships coming from the river between Warnemünde and Rostock. Besides the head
pilot in Warnemünde, there is one head pilot, eight ocean pilots, and five river pilots.
The pilots meet the vessels in row or sail boats, carrying the national pilot flag, and go
out as far as the roads.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
Vessels approaching the west coast of Schleswig Holstein will only find pilots on the
Eider galoit. These perform pilot service to Tönning, to the Elbe, up the Hever to
Husumer Aue and to the Pieps up to the Bösum Roads. The buoy layers in the
western land on Sylt, Steenodde, and Husum perform pilotage service without any re-
sponsibility being taken by the authorities. The Jade pilots are also eqiupped to per-
form pilotage services in the waters along the western coast of Schleswig-Holstein.
Pilotage is obligatory for all ocean vessels irrespective of size or draft in the district
between the harbor quay at Elspeth and the city of Oldenburg. It is also obligatory
for all other ships with draft of 3 meters and over and a tonnage of 350 tons and oyer.
All ship captains who are not thoroughly familiar with the present conditions in the
North and Baltic Seas are most urgently recommended to make use of the services
of a pilot. The following are pilot stations:
1. The “Vereinigte Deutsche Nordseelotsen-Gesellschaft," with limited branch
in Wilhelmshaven.
2. The “Vereinigten Seelotsen der Elbe, Weser, and Ems."
3. The“Zentrale für deutsche Nord-und Ostseelotsen," in Hamburg.
4. The pilot union for the Baltic Sea, headquarters in Harburg on the Elbe.
5. The Uberseelotsenvereinigung für die Ost- und Nordsee,'' in Holtenau.
6. The Danzig Baltic Pilots Association in Danzig.
The “Vereinigte Deutsche Nordseelotsen-Gesellschaft," with headquarters at
Admiral Klattstrasse 22, Wilhelmshaven, is made up offormer naval pilots. Thetele-
graphic address is "Nordeseelotse Wilhelmshaven." The black pilot schooner
Wangeroog crosses by Dungeness in the canal; it bears the word “Pilot'' painted in
white on both sides, and during the day carries the German pilot flag on the mainmast;
the sails are without indications. If there are pilots on board which are available for
service, the international signal "ADSB” (North Sea) will be raised. At night the
schooner shows the prescribed lights—that is, the white light on the foremast and the
flare-up fire.
A large motor boat belonging to this company also crosses between Dungeness and
the fire ship Royal Sovereign. It is painted black with a white top and bears the name
Wangerogg II on the bow, and on the rear deck erections the word “Pilot” in large
white letters on a black ground, and during the day carries the German pilot flag on
the mast, and the prescribed lights at night.
The pilots of this company take vessels: (1) From the station by Dungeness to the
mouths of the rivers Ems, Jade, Weser, and Elbe. (2) From the mouths of the Ems,
Jade, Weser, and Elbe to the station at Dungeness. (3) From all the foreign harbors
in the North Sea to the mouths of German rivers. (4) From the mouths of German rivers
to all foreign harbors in the North Sea (5) Between the foreign harbors in the
North Sea.
Pilotage is not obligatory, nor the pilot tax when no pilots have been taken on. If
pilots are taken on in any German, Danish, English, or Dutch harbor or the coast of the
North Sea, the Pilot Association must be telegraphically informed in ample time. It
is advisable to allow four days before the sailing date of the vessel when ordering a
176
PORT DIRECTORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
pilot telegraphically to a Danish, English, or Dutch harbor; three days to Brunsbüttel,
and two and a half days for all the other harbors in the North Sea.
“Die Vereinigten Seelotsen der Elber, Weser und Ems” have a pilot station for
the German Bay in the canal east of the line Portland-Casquets. Pilots can be
taken on and dropped at this station. It has the two white schooners, Groden and
Cuxhaven. They carry the word “Elbe” in the sail as well as a red pennant and the
German flag in the mainmast. At night they burn the prescribed pilot lights and a
flare-up fire at least every 15 minutes. Call through steam whistle in the Morse signal
( . .). Both schooners are fitted with wireless telegraph apparatus (system
Debeg-Tonfunken) for distances of 600 and 300 meters. The call-word for the Groden,
is "DGN," and for the Cuxhaven "DAJ.” Nevertheless both reply to “DG N.”
A third schooner Döse crosses as a tender between Dungeness and the Maas fire ship.
The pilots who before the war were North Sea pilots, take vessels: (1) Between these
two schooners of which the one is always in the neighborhood of the Royal Sovereign
fire ship, and to all German river mouths. (2) Between all German river mouths and
harbors to all foreign harbors in the North Sea and the channel. (3) From foreign
harbors to German river mouths, only at special request.
These pilots can be obtained at any time of the day or night and the telegraphic
address is “Seelotsen.” The offices of the company are located in (a) Cuxhaven,
in the office of the company;(6) Brunsbüttelkoog, in the Elbe Pilot station and through
the canal authorities; (c) Emden Oldersumerstrasse 26; (d) Bremerhaven, in the
ocean pilot office on the dike; (e) Rotterdam, through L. Smit & Co. (telegraphic
address, “Lels Rotterdam”).
"Zentrale für deutsche Nord- und Ostseelotsen” in Hamburg have pilot stations
in Cuxhaven and Brunsbüttel for furnishing ships destined for Baltic harbors with
the desired pilots. Vessels that desire to take on an ocean pilot in Cuxhaven or Bruns-
büttel (for the Baltic) must raise the pennant"D" and "È” in the mainmast during
the day and at night a white light in the starboard rigging. A pilot can be ordered
through the wireless call word “Ostlotse Hamburg,” giving the name of the ship and
time of arrival. The ocean pilots are made up entirely of captains that have traveled
the Baltic for many years and know the waters thoroughly.
This company in Hamburg also supplies pilots for the North Sea. The pilot office
in Hamburg is located on the Rödingsmarkt 51. The pilots of this company have a
fixed charge, which is paid in foreign moneys.
In Harburg on the Elbe a company has been organized (composed of captains)
for furnishing pilots for the Baltic. The pilot boat of this company is a white two-
masted schooner with the words "Baltic Pilot” in the sail, and which crosses west of
the Skagen fire-ship between Hirshals and Skagen along the coast. Capt. A. Escher-
haus, Postweg 61, Harburg, is the director of the association. The telegraphic address
is “Ostnahrt Harburgelbe.” The schooner carries the flag “P” in the main-mast as
long as pilots are available, otherwise the flag is taken down. At night it gives three
flashes of blue fire and signals with a Morse lantern in the mainmast. Thisschooner has
a wireless apparatus for a distance of 600 meters. The call word is "DEE.” There
are pilots on board for all Baltic barbors. Ships up to 7.1 meters draft go through the
Flintrinne, those with a greater draft go through the Great Belt. Pilot tax is made
according to a fixed tariff, paid in English pounds.
The “Úberseelotsen-Vereinigung für die Ost-und Nordsee” has its headquarters in
Holtenau, Jägerstrasse 13. This company was organized in the spring of 1919. The
pilots are all captains with many years' experience in the North and Baltic Seas.
They are thoroughly familiar with the existing mine dangers and the ice conditions
in the Baltic. Charges made according to a fixed tariff. Pilots can be had at any time
of the day or night. The telegraphic address is “Pilot-Holtenau.”
The "Danziger Ostsee-Lotsenverein” has its headquarters in Danzig; Schüsseldamm
63. Charges for pilotage are in conformity with the tariffs of the “Zentral-Lotsen-
vereins” in Hamburg.
PILOT CHARGES.
All vessels which have emgaged a pilot or are liable to the pilot tax in accordance
with a Cuxhaven regulations, must pay the pilot charges irrespective of the cargo or
whether or not the pilot was taken on the ship from a pilot schooner, a pilot steamer,
or a galiot of the pilot station. The minimum charge is 25 marks. The summer tax
is valid from April 1 to September 30, the winter tax for the remaining months.
Vessels destined for the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal or from there to the ocean will be
charged according to the draft and the canal tax.
Below is given the table of normal pilot charges; until later notice there is an in-
creased tax on these charges which amounts to: (a) For vessels destined for the Kaiser
Wilhelm Canal or from there to the ocean, 300 per cent, minimum 100 marks; (b) for
all other vessels 400 per cent, minimim 125 marks.

In the following cases certain deductions will be made from the tariff: 25 per cent
when vessels only go as far as Cuxhaven; 75 per cent when a pilot is only taken on
at Cuxhaven; 50 per cent when vessels enter without ballast or cargo; 50 per cent
when vessels go from Cuxhaven to the ocean; 10 to 30 per cent for every trip which
the same vessel makes in a year under the guidance of a Cuxhaven national pilot
after the twelfth, twenty-fourth, or thirty-sixth trip.
An addition of 50 per cent is made to the tariff when the Cuxhaven national pilot
is obliged to take the vessel to a harbor on the Elbe lying above Glückstadt.
Tows that are made up of several lighters falling under pilotage regulations require
the services of only one pilot and pay the tariff of the vessel with the greatest draft.
Any complaints or requests in connection with the pilotage charges are to be made
to the naval officers in Hamburg or Cuxhaven.
The Elbe pilots in the district of Schleswig charge 37.68 marks per meter for the
greatest draft for proceeding up the Elbe; 75.36 marks for the distance between the
station of Brunsbüttel to Cuxhaven when such must be made on account of ice;
for the pilotage over the Blankeneser Sand, the tax is 10.80 marks, and if the ship
is obliged to anchor on account of shallowness, 10.80 marks is charged for every day
it is obliged to wait. The pilot is also entitled to the payment of 10.80 marks per
day for every day that the journey must be delayed on account of ice or other circum-
stances for which he is not responsible.
The following pilotage charges are made for vessels proceeding down the Elbe
from Hamburg: (a) For every foot of the greatest draft of the vessel up to and includ-
ing the 18th, 15 marks; for every further foot, 30 marks. (6) For every ton up to and
including 1,000 tons, 12 pfennige; for every further ton, 16 pfennige.
These charges are valid for such vessels that take on a pilot at any place above
Brunsbüttel and drop such at the fire-ship station; vessels that take on the pilot at
some point above Brunsbüttel and drop same at Cuxhaven are taxed four-fifths of
this sum, and those vessels taking on the pilot at some point above Brunsbüttel and
drop same near Brunsbüttel are taxed three-fifths of this sum.

PORT DIRECIORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
The minimum charges in this case are as follows: Brunsbüttel, 120 marks; Cuxhaven,
160 marks; fireship, 200 marks.
The pilotage charges for tows consisting of lighters and small boats are as follows:
To Brunsbüttel, 140 marks; to Cuxhaven, 160 marks; to fire ship, 200 marks. But
this only when there is only one lighter or small boat in tow. For every further
lighter or small boat there is an addition of 20 marks for all three points.
Vessels that are piloted from some point above Brunsbüttel to another point above
the same place must pay the same charges as though they were proceeding to Bruns-
büttel.
Vessels that are piloted from some point above Brunsbüttel to some place in the
Oste must pay up to the mouth of the Oste, where the functions of the Elbe pilots
cease, the amount of the tax valid for Cuxhaven.
If a vessel has begun the trip but turns back to the harbor before reaching the
western limits of the quai at Neumuhlen, it must pay one-fifth of the tax valid for
the fire-ship station.
If a vessel has passed the western limits of the quai at Neumuhlen, breaks off its
trip and returns to the point of embarkation, if it turns about above Brunsbüttel, it
is obliged to pay the double of the tariff valid for Brunsbüttel; if it turns about be-
tween Brunsbüttel and Cuxhaven, it must pay the double of the tariff for Cuxhaven;
and if it turns about between Cuxhaven and the fire-ship station, then it must pay
the double of the tariff valid for the fire-ship station.
In the event that such a ship turns about between Brunsbüttel and Cuxhaven
and finishes its journey at Brunsbüttel, it is required to pay the tariff to Cuxhaven,
and in addition up to Brunsbüttel one-fifth of the tariff for the fire-ship station.
If a vessel turns about between Cuxhaven and the fire-ship station and ends its
return journey near Cuxhaven or Brunsbüttel, it must pay the tariff to the fire-ship
station and in addition up to Cuxhaven a further one-fifth, up to Brunsbüttel, two-
fifths additional of the fire-ship station tax.
If a vessel is obliged to turn about below the fourth fire-ship and anchors near
Cuxhaven or some point above, there is an additional charge of one-fifth of the entire
tariff for piloting it out again.
Anchorage is computed at 40 marks per day. Every portion of a day is computed
as a full day. Ships that interrupt their journey on the lower Elbe on account of
weather or other reasons, begin to compute this time from the first interruption.
The computation of the pilotage charges is according to the greatest draft.
Forty marks is charged for regulating the compass.
Sailing ships that are towed to the station where the pilot is dropped, pay the
simple tariff; such that are only partially towed pay an additional 25 per cent.
If weather conditions prevent the pilot landing at the station, he must be paid
40 marks per day until his arrival in Hamburg, as well as first-class passage on a steam-
ship or second-class on the railroad, and all other expenses arising from the journey.
Between October 1 and March 31 there is an increase of 25 per cent as winter tax.
All fishing boats that are leaving on fishing trips and which generally take on a
pilot for the Elbe trip, pay four-fifths of the pilotage tariff.
At present there is an increased charge of 75 per cent on all these figures.
The following charges are made for piloting a vessel from the mouth of the Weser
to the Elbe or the Ems: (a) To the Elbe, from April 1 to September 30, 70 marks;
from October 1 to March 31, 90 marks. (6) To the Ems, from April 1 to September
30, 120 marks; from October 1 to March 31, 150 marks.
The travelingexpenses of the pilot are herewith included. In case a pilot is required
for a vessel from or to another harbor, an agreement must be made in regard to the
distance and traveling expenses.
The pilotage charges are computed according to decimeters of the draft of the vessel
in question. The charge is made beginning with the day on which the pilot comes
on board.
The present charges are as follows:

Besides the pilotage fees, the pilot has board, etc.
If the vessel has two pilots, one and one-half times the tax must be paid.
If the pilot steamer has to guide the course, the double tax must be paid.
If a vessel refuses the services of a pilot and then demands and receives another,
pilotage charges are made from the time the first pilot reported for duty.
If the journey of an incoming or outgoing vessel is delayed or interrupted on account
of unfavorable winds or other circumstances beyond its control, and this delay or
interruption lasts longer than one hour, there is an anchorage charge of 15 marks for
the day. The same is valid should the pilot be retained on board the vessel at the
request of the captain or on account of quarantine.
If an outgoing ship is obliged to turn back to the Weser on account of weather con-
ditions or other reasons, the incoming and outgoing pilotage charges are made, as well
as the anchorage tax.
The following table of charges of the Eider pilots is now increased 100 per cent:

Summer tax, Apr. 15-Oct. 14.

one-half times the tax is charged from the pilot galiot out; tows without a pilot are
charged one-half the tax. For the pilotage of vessels whose draft and tonnage is not

Two pontoons lifting 500 and 3,500 tons respectively.
The German Government dockyards makes repairs of all kinds to
hulls, engines, and boilers, but the work upon foreign men-of-war

CHAPTER VII.
BELGIUM
ROYAL DECREE REGULATING THE ENTRANCE OF FOREIGN MEN-OF-WAR
INTO THE WATERS AND HARBORS OF BELGIUM.
ARTICLE 1. In time of peace, war vessels of foreign powers are allowed to enter
freely the Belgian ports of the North Sea and to cast anchor in the harbor of these
ports in the territorial waters, provided the number of vessels carrying the same
flag, including those already anchored in that zone or in a port, does not exceed three.
· ART. 2. Foreign war vessels are not allowed to enter the Belgian waters of the
Scheldt, anchor in the roadstead of Antwerp, or penetrate the interior waters of the
Kingdom without having obtained authority from the minister of foreign affairs.
This authority must be requested by the intervention of the assistant inspector of
the Belgium pilotage at Flushing.
ART. 3. Foreign war vessels, unless provided with a special authority from the
Government, are not allowed to rest more than 15 days in the territorial waters and
ports of Belgium.
They are bound to sail within six hours if thereto invited by the administration of
marine or by the territorial military authorities, even if the term fixed for their sojourn
has not expired.
ART. 4. If particular circumstances require it, the Government reserves to itself the
right of changing the limitations above referred to as to the entry and resting of foreign
war vessels in the Belgian ports and waters.
ART. 5. The provisions of articles 1, 2, and 3 are not applicable to war vessels, the
admission of which has been authorized through diplomatic channels, nor to vessels
on board of which abides either a chief of state, a prince of a reigning dynasty, or a
diplomatic agent accredited to the King or the Government.
ART. 6. Foreign war vessels in Belgian waters are prohibited to make survey and
soundings, as well as landing or shooting exercises.
On shore, the crew of a ship shall carry no arms. The officers and noncommissioned
officers are allowed to carry the arms which form part of their respective uniforms.
Ships' boats running about the port and territorial waters can not be armed.
If funeral honors are to be rendered on land, an exception to paragraph 2 of the pres-
ent article can be granted by the minister of war, on application from the territorial
military authorities.
Art. 7. Commanders of foreign war vessels are compelled to comply with the laws
and regulations affecting police, public health, duties, and taxes, unless exceptions
are provided by virtue of treaties or international usages.
Arrangements to enter the mouth of the Scheldt must be made with the Dutch
Government through American Minister at The Hague.
ANTWERP, BELGIUM.
(Latitude 51° 13' N., longitude 4° 24' E. Population, 345,000. On the River Scheldt,
53 miles from sea.)
For practical purposes, it is considered that a vessel 620 feet long,
and of 70 feet beam, is too large to pass through the gates of the Royal
Sluice into the docks at Antwerp, as there will be only a few feet
clearance on each side.
There is plenty of water alongside the quays in the river for a ship
of 32 feet draft, the best berth being at the quai du Rhin, which is
used by the Red Star Line, and is just at the entrance to the locks.

ea to river.lty as thehe pilot is ordi on to Du
In pre-war days, Japanese war ships drawing 311 feet, have been
up the Scheldt as far as Antwerp, and lay alongside the pier. The
difficulty with a large ship is to swing around, as one side of the river
is very shallow. However, this can be done at the top of high water
with safety.
Pilotage.—Not compulsory for men-of-war. Belgian pilot boats
cruise off Flushing, Holland, at the mouth of the Scheldt. Fees
vary in winter and summer and depend on draft. Either Dutch or
Belgian pilots may be found as far down the channel as between
Dungeness and the Isle of Wight, and there is always a Dutch pilot
boat at Dungeness. In either case a change of pilots is made at
Flushing from sea to river pilot. It is customary to continue with
pilots of the same nationality as the one first taken, including the
return trip to sea. In leaving port the pilot is ordinarily discharged
near the Wandelaar lightship. He may be carried on to Dungeness,
however, without further charge for his services, but in this case
his expenses must be paid for his return home. Signal stations at
West Hinder and Flushing.
Salutes.-It is a saluting port. Salutes should be fired off Fort
Marie, at the second marked bend in the river 5 miles below the city
water front; salutes are returned from the battery at Fort Marie.
Wireless. —There is a station at Flushing, Holland; also one at
Antwerp, call OSA; wave length, 600; range, 100–150 miles.
Officials and courtesies. It is a military and naval port. Civil:
Governor of Province. Salute, 17 guns. Address, Marché aux
Souliers. Commander of visiting man-of-war makes first call.
Burgomaster ranks immediately after governor and rates a salute
of 8 guns. Address: City Hall. Commander of visiting man-of-war
makes first call.
Naval: None. American consul and vice consul stationed here.
Military: Lieutenant general (military governor) commanding sec-
ond military district. Salute, 17 guns. Address for calls, No. 75
Avenue Cogels. Commander of visiting man-of-war makes first call,
and calls on this officer before calling on the civil governor.
Quarantinė regulations.-All vessels arriving from a foreign port are
required to stop at Doel, the quarantine station, about 5 miles down
the river, where they are boarded by a Government health officer, the
quarantine flag being flown until pratique is granted. Special hy-
gienic and sanitary measures are applicable only to vessels arriving
from infected or suspected ports, or with quarantinable diseases on
board. Bills of health are required, and they are issued at the Gov-
ernment office in the city. Consular bills of health may be obtained
in lieu of the Government bill of health, depending upon the require-
ments of the port to which the vessel is sailing.
Anchorages. —The usual anchorage for men-of-war is in the river
off the city front. Anchor or moor. Perfectly sheltered. It is very
important that the United States consul be notified several days in
advance of arrival of men-of-war.
Regulations for ashes and garbage.—The dumping overboard of
ashes and garbage is strictly forbidden, and the same should be
removed by lighters when the vessel is moored in the river or by city
garbage carts when alongside river quay. Application for garbage
lighters to come alongside may be made to the quay authorities or at
the office of the harbor master.

striction, and the number is not limited. Arrange through the Amer-
ican consul for the landing of patrols. Consul is also glad to make
any arrangements in behalf of officers and crew.

lowed in the docks, canals, or the river. There are open-air public

CHAPTER IX.
FRANCE.
REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE ENTRANCE OF FOREIGN VESSELS INTO
FRENCH PORTS OR ANCHORAGES IN TIME OF WAR.
ARTICLE 1. In time of war, between sunrise and sunset, no French vessel of com-
merce, no foreign vessel of war or of commerce must approach within less than 3
miles of the French coasts (France and French possessions) before being authorized
to do so. Between sunset and sunrise the injunction against approaching within
less than 3 miles is absolute.
During the day, any ship finding itself at the distance from land at which the
colors of its flags may be distinguished, must carry its national flag. If it desires to
come within the forbidden zone, it will make request to do so by hoisting the pilot
signal; but it will remain outside of the 3-mile limit until questioned or signaled by a
semaphore that its request is granted.
All vessels are obliged to obey immediately the injunctions of a vessel of war or of
a semaphore, communicated viva voce or by international code signals.
ART. 2. In time of war, if any vessel affected by the present decree does not con-
form to the prescriptions formulated above, one of the neighboring batteries or any
vessel of war stationed or steaming in the neighborhood shall, by firing a blank charge,
call upon it to obey them.
If this first warning has no effect, a shell shall be fired, after two minutes, slightly
in front of the vessel, and finally, if, after another interval of two minutes, the vessel
does not stop or withdraw, fire shall be opened upon it.
In case of urgency the preliminary blank charge may be suppressed.
At night, if less than a mile distant, the preliminary shell may also be suppressed.
Any vessel neglecting the orders relating to the forbidden zones renders itself
liable to destruction, and if it approaches during the night to less than a mile from
the coast, it may be fired upon immediately without previous warning.
ART. 3. In time of war all traffic of small boats other than those belonging to French
warships is absolutely forbidden in roads and military ports between sunset and sun-
rise. Between sunrise and sunset this traffic is permitted only to such boats as have
been furnished by the maritime authorities with a special permit and with the means
by which they may be recognized.
The boats thus authorized shall keep at a distance from the warships if told to do
60, and shall in no case draw alongside without permission. The movements of these
boats will, moreover, remain subject to local instructions, especially as regards entry
to certain forbidden portions of the roads and approach to any other place than those
expressly designated.
In commercial ports the authorities will take special measures to protect the inter-
ests of commerce, while imposing on the movements of small craft such restrictions
as may be deemed necessary.
ART. 4. In time of war vessels authorized to enter French roads and ports shall
anchor at points indicated to them by the local authorities and conform strictly to
the regulations, of whatever nature, laid down by those authorities.
The length of their stay will be subject to military requirements, and when cir-
cunstances demand it, the authorities may instruct them to stand out to sea or with-
draw to a position decided upon. This order must be carried out without delay, an
extension of time being nevertheless accorded to such boats as are unable to put it
into immediate execution.
No ship may get under way, either to change anchorage or to leave the roads, with-
out permission to do so from the local authorities.
ART. 5. The measures prescribed in the present decree shall be applicable from
the commencement of mobilization.
Art. 6. All stipulations contrary to the present decree are hereby annulled.

banks. At Bordeaux vessels are moored. Captain of port assigns
anchorage.

francs per day. There are no fixed rates nor police regulations.
Boats not easily obtainable.
Shore leave. The facilities for leave are good; usual amusements
found in French cities. Ten hours from Paris.

liberty to enlisted men.
The streets are said to be dangerous at night, owing to the criminal
class, or “Apaches.”
Patrols.-Armed patrols may be landed by permission of the com-
mandant de la marine; office, 9, Place Tourny.

and same number are painted on the hull at bow and stern. There
is also painted on both sides of each sail, in black if the sails are
white and in white if the sails are colored, an anchor having a height
one-third that of the sail.
3. On a staff at the main truck, a blue flag bordered with white.
At night the pilot boat carries at the truck a light visible all
around the horizon and showing at short intervals of not more than
15 minutes a number of flashes. Upon approaching a vessel in
answer to a signal, the light is shown and obscured at 15 seconds'
interval for one minute.
To call a pilot during the day, ships will hoist at the mizzen a
blue flag with white border, or, lacking this, their national ensign.
At night ships will show a white light above the nettings, obscur-
ing it at 15 seconds' intervals during one minute, at the same time,
if possible, burning blue lights at intervals of about 15 minutes.
The pilotage fees to Nantes are divided into three parts: (1) From
the sea to St. Nazaire, (2) from St. Nazaire to Paimbeuf, and (3)
from Paimbeuf to Nantes.
Pilot fees vary in amount from the sea to St. Nazaire, depending
upon where the pilot is picked up. This point should be carefully
fixed. (See St. Nazaire.)

Regulations for ashes and garbage.-There are none, and both may
be dumped overboard. Ashes and garbage can be sold ashore.
Lighters call unsolicited.
Boat landings.—The usual landing is at the stone pier in front of
near the outer end. If there is any swell running they are imprac-
ticable for navy launches, for the pier is very short and the beach very
steep, and a navy launch with her gangway at the steps would have
her bow in the breakers, and the scending of the boat makes it im-
possible to handle her or to board or leave her safely. The east side
of the pier is preferable, for on the west side it is dry at low water
nearly out to the steps. The better landing place from the point of
view of handling the boats is inside the breakwater connecting Loo
Rock with the mainland, where good landings can always be made,
but this is so far from the town that it is only used when it is im-
practicable to land at the pier. Great caution should be used in ap-
proaching the pier until the conditions there are ascertained, par-
ticularly at low tide, for the lower courses of masonry extend out a
couple of feet beyond that visible, and at low water this shelf is only
a short distance below the surface. There is one landing stage.
Lighted at night.
Shore boats.—Plenty of good shore boats. Legal tariff must be
shown when requested.
Shore leave.—No limits as to number and no permission is neces-
nary except by courtesy to military commander. Although a most
interesting place, it is not a good liberty port, for the liquor sold to
the men (and it is pressed upon them) is vile and much drunkenness
may be expected. Also the prices of all articles are high, and are
raised for all visitors without conscience, and this includes prices for
use of public utilities, such as the Funchal railroad up to the mount
and all other means of conveyance. Two cinemas, good hotels,
banks, one club (British).
Patrols.-Unarmed patrols may be landed, but permission should
first be obtained. This request should be made to the military
commander.
Swimming, bathing, and athletics.-Swimming with bathing trunks
allowed from the ships, but no facilities on shore. Limited facilities
for athletics, such as tennis, riding, and walking.
Shore drills and target practice.—Limited. Permission from mili-
tary commander. Target range up to 800 meters.
Facilities for fresh water. Each of the coaling companies, Wilson
1
Cory's Madeira Coaling Co., furnishes fresh water; quantity is prac-
tically unlimited. It is furnished alongside of the ship in barges,
with a steam pump in the barge. Delivery is at the rate of about
75 to 250 tons per hour. Prices range from 3s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. per
ton. The lower price is for larger quantities of water. While drink-
ing water is readily obtainable, the opinion seems to be that it should
be boiled before drinking. It is artesian well water, and care should
be taken to see that it is suitable before taking it aboard for use in
boilers. Price of water, 6 shillings per ton.
Coaling facilities.--Purchased under Government contract. There
are four coal companies, as follows: Wilson Sons & Co. (Ltd.), Ger-

Co. Coaling is done from barges, the amount being computed by
weight. For coal put aboard and stowed by natives, 60 to 75 tons
per hour can be stowed. Besides Admiralty Welsh, Wilson Sons &
Co. (Ltd.), handle Durham unscreened coal. Large stock always on
hand, but prior notice advisable in order that it may be ready in the
lighters; 2,000, to 3,000 tons Welsh coal available. Limited amount
of fuel oil and gasoline is available.
Ship's supplies.-Dealers in fresh provisions are Joao Martins da
Silva and Joe Mitre, Beef, veal, mutton, pork, and fish are obtain-
able. Also potatoes, cabbages, and a few other vegetables. Joao
Martins da Silva claim that with 14 days' notice they are prepared
to furnish frozen meat to the extent of 25-000 pounds; fresh meat
up to 200,000 pounds; potatoes up to 600,000 pounds; and other
Vegetables and fruit to any amount required. The four coaling
companies furnish small quantities of general ship chandlery and
miscellaneous stores. The Vacuum Oil Co. has an agency whose
headquarters is at Lisbon. They keep on hand a certain amount
of gasoline and motor oils, and claim that upon notice to Lisbon
any oils necessary could be shipped from that port. There are several
good banks in Funchal Prices are generally lower compared to
those in the United States.
Docking and repairing facilities. No docking facilities. Blandy
Bros. & Co. have a fairly well-equipped forge (steam hammers),
machine shop, etc., at the “Arsenal de Santiago," where the small
island steamers are engined and repaired. Leacock & Co. have a
machine shop capable of making small repairs.
Port regulations.—Ships may enter freely day and night. No re-
strictions as to numbers or length of stay.

facilities are good. There are four, but only two are available to
steamers.

international code flag S” is hoisted off the entrance the pilot will
come out. Fees on a tonnage basis constantly changing. Captain
of the port in Rua Vasco da Gama. Signal station at Capelhinos light-
house.

guns; he should receive the first call from the commander of a visit-
ing man-of-war. United States vice consul here.

ITALY.
ROYAL DECREE OF MAY 28, 1922, REGULATING IN TIME OF PEACE THE
ENTRY AND SOJOURN OF FOREIGN MEN-OF-WAR IN THE PORTS OF
ITALY.
ARTICLE I.
The present decree has regard solely to time of peace and to the approach, during
this time, of the vessels of a nonbelligerent State to anchorage in Italian ports or in
those of the Italian colonies; all other regulations contrary to the present decree are
abrogated and substituted by the following:
ARTICLE II.
By war vessel is meant not only every vessel designated as such in the accepted
sense of this term, but also vessels of any kind whatsoever that fly the war flag and are
adapted to the service of the State.
ARTICLE III.
In time of peace, foreign war vessels are as a general rule authorized to visit the ports
of Italy and of the dependent colonies, and to anchor in the territorial waters at a
distance less than 6 miles from the line of low tide, provided that the number of
vessels belonging to the same State is not greater than three for each sector, as is indi-
cated in the following article.
However, there must invariably be given, through the customary diplomatic chan-
nels, notice that such a visit is planned in such a manner that, circumstances permit-
ting, the notice may be received not less than seven days before the proposed visit.
Such vessels will not be allowed to remain for a period greater than eight days in
the ports and territorial waters. They must in every case leave within six hours
from the notice, whenever the maritime authorities shall request them to depart,
and this even in the case that the duration of the sojourn above indicated has not been
completed.
When a foreign naval squadron composed of a greater number of vessels than that
indicated in the first paragraph of the present article approaches, the martime author-
ities must immediately notify the commander of the squadron of the regulations
above indicated, so that he may withdraw the vessels exceeding the number stated.
ARTICLE IV.
The limits concerning the greatest number of foreign war vessels and the days of
sojourn indicated in the preceding article can not be exceeded except in case of in-
voluntary sojourn or by formal permission to be sought from the Royal Government
through diplomatic channels.
ARTICLE V.
The provisions of the preceding articles are not applied:
(a) To war vessels upon which are carried the rulers of States, members of reigning
dynasties and their suites, or diplomatic agents accredited to the Royal Government;
(6) To war vessels obliged to remain on account of damages, unfavorable weather,
or other unforseen reasons;
(c) To war vessels in the service of surveillance on the seas where by convention
it is recognized by the Royal Government.
ARTICLE VI.
For the application of the present rules the coast of the Kingdom and of the colonies
is divided into the following sectors:
1. Adriatic, from the frontier to Santa Maria de Leuca, including Zara and the
islands belonging to Italy;
2. Ionian, from Santa Maria de Leuca to Scilla, upon the peninsula and from Cape
Peloro to the Sicilian coast eastward and westward to Cape Lilibeo;
3. Tyrrhenian, from the French border to Cape Peloro and Scilla, with the north
coast of Sicily as far as Cape Lilibeo, and with all the islands of this sea;
4. Coasts of Tripolitania and Cirenaica;
5. Coast of Eritrea;
6. Coast of Somaliland;
7. Aegean Islands.

PORT DIRECTORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
ARTICLE VII.
Upon the arrival of a foreign war vessel in a port or harbor of the State not possessing
maritime fortress, the post of anchorage will be assigned either by the naval authorities
· or by those of the port.
In case the vessel has already anchored, the authorities may consent to leave it
in the place occupied or assign it to another, whenever in their judgment it interferes
with navigation or the port service.
The naval or port official, charged with the customary duties of the naval or port
authorities, will deliver to the commander, after completing the sanitary formalities,
a copy of the simple form of the questionnaire for the information that it sought with
the same, taking it completed and signed. Also he must present to him a copy of
the present decree so that due cognizances of it may be taken.
In case of nonadmission to free usage, the official above indicated will limit him-
self to delivery of a copy of the decree to the commander of the vessel or of the naval
force, who must send, observing the necessary precautions prescribed, the medical
oíficer or other representative to the local sanitary office to furnish the data for the
drawing up of the questionnaire and to participate in the sanitary treatment to which
the vessel must be subjected.
ARTICLE VIII.
In coming to anchorage in a fortified port within the limits of defense and in depart-
ing from it, the foreign war vessel is obliged, when it receives an invitation from the
local naval authorities, to accept the guidance of an official or other delegate appointed
by said authorities, and to conform to his directions as regards the route to be taken
for entering and leaving anchorage. This service is gratuitous, incurs no respon-
sibility by the Royal Government and its representatives for damages that may come
to the vessel, and is entirely independent of the ordinary pilot service that may be
requested by the same vessels by means of prescribed signals or offered by local pilots,
or that may be, under certain local conditions, obligatory.
For the purposes ofthis article and of saluting, the fortified ports are named as fol-
lows: Vado (Savona), Spezia, Monte Argentario (Talamone and Porto Santo Stefano),
Gaeta, Messina and dependent anchorages on both sides of the strait, Taranto, Brindisi,
Venice and the lagoon anchorages, and Pola.

tario) and foreign war vessels approaching the respective anchorages and in condition
to do so, an artillery salute should be exchanged.
This obligation is extended also to the anchorages of Naples and Tripoli, as well as
to any other anchorages whatsoever of the Kingdom or of the Colonies, in which
there is located a Royal vessel in condition to return the salute.
In each maritime port or naval base one of the works keeps the national flag flying
from 8 a. m. to sunset. The national flag is temporarily hoisted outside of the pre-
scribed hours, provided that the colors can be distinguished, if a war vessel is in view
and in motion, and in each case that the war vessel in view has its flag spread.
ARTICLE IX.
There may be prohibited, in the interest of the national defense, to foreign war
vessels the transit or sojourn in any locality whatsoever of the territorial waters that,
in each case, will be designated.
This prohibition, temporary or permanent, must be made public with the systems
followed for hydrographic warnings that interest navigation, and the semaphores,
signal stations, and national war vessels that will be found in these localities must
communicate it with international signal codes to the foreign war vessels passing in
their vicinity.
ARTICLE X.
Foreign war vessels going to anchorage in a port or in the territorial waters are
obliged to respect the fiscal, police, and health laws and regulations.
They are equally obliged to follow all the local regulatory provisions to which the
national war vessels are subjected. For this purpose the local maritime authorities
furnish to the commander all the necessary information.
Foreign war vessels in the territorial waters are forbidden to carry on soundings
and measurements, or, without authorization, to carry on landing or target practices
or the launching or placing of torpedoes.
No underwater work shall be carried on without giving previous notice of it to the
maritime authorities or their representatives.
It is also forbidden without special authorization that any aerial apparatus what-
soever, carried, escorted, or towed by a foreign war vessel shall be operated or put
in flight in the territorial waters.
Submarines admitted to anchorage in the ports must for the entire duration of their
stay remain on the surface, and it is forbidden to them to carry on submersible prac-

tice without authorization. Upon arrival and departure and for the whole extent
of the territorial waters they must in every case navigate on the surface.
Foreign war vessels are forbidden to send on shore armed men of the crew of marines
for exercises, patrol or police service, funeral celebrations, or any other reason, with-
out having sought the previous permission of the local military authorities, or lacking
these, of the port officials. The officers and underofficers may always. carry the side.
arms appropriate to their rank.
The number of men that can land, as well as the hours of departure and of return
on board, will be agreed upon between the commander of the foreign vessel or vessels
and the local civil and military authorities, the possible presence of war vessels of
other nations being taken into consideration.
Landing parties circulating in the ports and territorial waters shall not be armed.
No sentence of death shall be executed in the territorial waters.
ARTICLE XI.
In case of the neutrality of the State in armed conflicts between other States there
will be observed, for the ports and territorial waters, the conventions, laws, and other
rules of maritime law existing in regard thereto.
ARTICLE XII.
The observance of the present rules concerns the local naval authorities, or, lacking
these, those of the port, and in addition the military authorities.
It is incumbent upon the said authorities to summon foreign war vessels in case
of transgression or of refusal to follow rigorously the conditions prescribed in the
present decree. In case of persistency or of refusal to comply with the summons,
they must, after having directed to the commander of the vessel or vessels a formal
protest, transmit an urgent telegraphic notification to the competent naval com-
mander in whose jurisdiction the foreign war vessel is located, and to the Ministry of
Marine, and whenever the transmitting authority is military, also to the competent
commander of army corps and to the Ministry of War.
In the Colonies the notification mentioned in the preceding paragraph must be
directed urgently to the governor upon whom devolves the necessity of informing
the central authorities.
The following is a translation of the questionnaire to be filled out
by commanders of foreign war vessels arriving in Italian ports:

ever, is very irregular, sounding a 5-second blast at intervals varying
from 30 seconds to 31 minutes. The harbor is well sheltered by
breakwaters, except that a considerable swell would probably be
experienced with a southerly blow. There are seven mooring buoys
in the harbor, three in the outer and four in the inner basins.
Docks.-There is approximately 10,000 feet of good docking space,
exclusive of the petroleum basin, which has four berths inside the
gates and two outside. The docks are well built, with strong mooring
bollards, fresh-water pipes at intervals along the docks, one oil
connection on north dock (for oiling the mail steamers from their
three private tanks located near northeast corner of the harbor), and
several good boat landings. There are railroad facilities on all docks,
a double-track line, and storehouses as listed under that heading.
The docks are all well lighted, but there are no facilities for loading
or unloading cargo. This must be done by ship's cargo booms.
Storehouses.--There are 16 fairly large storehouses in all. On the
north dock are seven of large dimension, approximately 140 feet long,
90 feet wide, and 50 feet high. On the east dock and breakwater are
two storehouses approximately 130 feet long, 60 feet wide, and 40
feet high. On the east quay are three, one about 450 feet long, 20
feet wide, and 20 feet high, and two of about the same size as those
on the east dock and breakwater. On the outer pier of the inner
harbor are four of the same size as those on the north dock. None
of the storehouses are very substantial, simply being large sheds
made of rough boards.
Fuel.--Fuel oil may be obtained at the petroleum basin, there being
three pipe lines running from the tanks out along the south break-
water with outlets at four oiling piers in the basin. There are 27
tanks, each of about 4,400 tons capacity. All Government owned,
but rented out to various oil companies. There is also one stand-
pipe on the northern side of the pier forming the inner dock of the
petroleum basin. At present time no fuel oil is available.
Coal.-—There is a coal supply of about 1,000 tons on the east
breakwater, but this is reserved for the coal-burning engines and for
the coal-burning craft. This is all the coal available at the present
time.
Water. There are fresh-water standpipes at irregular intervals
along all docks.
Tugs, dredges, etc. There are at present three small harbor tugs
and pilot boats, three dredges, three steel dredge barges, one pile
driver, and one small fire boat, apparently in good condition but not
manned. Also one large crane for use in building docks. One water
barge.
Repair facilities. The only repair shops are those belonging to
the railroad, and as nearly as can be ascertained these are capable of
all minor repairs to railroad stock, but will not handle outside repair
jobs other than for the Rumanian naval vessels.
Sanitary conditions.-Bad. One hospital available.
Provisions.—None obtainable.
Pilot.—There is only one pilot attached to this port. He boards
incoming vessels outside the harbor entrance.

Port regulations.-—Only one steamer is permitted to enter the same
pass at a time. The vessel leaving the port is to give way to the
vessel arriving. Vessels not intending to enter the passes should not
approach them except under unavoidable circumstances.
Before entering a pass from seaward steamer must, between sunrise
and sunset, hoist the international code signal RLM (wait) and sound
their whistles.
After sunset a blue light should be burned and whistle sounded by
all steamers approaching the passes whether inward or outward.
If an outgoing steamer is in a pass at the time an incoming one
arrives at the sea end of same pass, the outgoing ship will hoist RLM
during the daytime or burn a blue light at night, sounding her whis-
tle; the arriving steamer should then wait till pass is clear.
Daytime.-Outgoing steamers are responsible that they do not
approach the Great Pass Pivot Buoy (if using Great Pass), or El Kot
(if using Boghaz), within half a mile in the event of a steamer enter-
ing from seaward the pass they require to use, until the arriving
steamer is inside and clear of pass. Care is also to be taken not to lie
with leading marks in line, thus obscuring them from the steamer
entering.
In case of both passes being signaled as in use, the outgoing steamer
must stop opposite Gabbari Signal Station and behave in same man-
ner as ordered for night regulations.
When two vessels are proceeding out of the same pass, the second
ship must not steady on the alignment of the pass, thus obscuring the
marks for leading ship, till the first steamer is outside and clear.
Nighttime.--As only the Great Pass is in use at night, the outgoing
steamer must stop opposite Gabbari Signal Station (when signal is
shown that pass is being used by incoming steamer) until the signal
station indicates that all is clear, after which she can proceed.
The following signals will be exhibited at Gabbari Signal Station
in connection with passes:
By day.-Both passes clear, one black ball; vessel in Great Pass,
two horizontal balls; vessel in Boghaz Pass, two vertical balls; vessel
in both passes, three balls--two horizontal, two vertical.
By night.-Pass clear, two white lights, vertical; vessel in pass,
two red lights, vertical.
Sailing vessels crossing the path of steamers in the passes do so at
their own vessels erbica..two white omtal,'t
Sailing vessels must never anchor in the entrance between the outer
and inner breakwaters.
If two steamers are likely to pass one another in the narrows
between the two breakwaters at entrance of harbor, the outgoing
steamer is to give way and stop till the incoming one has entered.

British and Egyptian hospitals; others not available to foreigners.

upon the secretary general at the Palazzetta to the left of the en-
trance to the Castle.
Quarantine regulations. See Royal decree of May 28, 1922. Men-
of-war not exempt. Bill of health is not required when coming from
Canadian and American Atlantic ports or European (except Turkish)
ports; they are issued by captain of the port. .
Anchorages.Ships of 19 feet draft or under can anchor in the
inner harbor. The new breakwater affords good shelter from the
northwest winds if the vessel is anchored well inshore, otherwise not.
Men-of-war are exempt from the payment of any fees for anchorage.
The captain of the port generally designates the berth for all vessels,
but the commander of the port would be the proper authority to
address in the case of a man-of-war.
Regulations for ashes and garbage. It is forbidden to throw such
into the harbor. The firm of G. Carbone will provide lighters for the
removal of such articles at an expense of about 25 to 30 lire for each
lighter that would carry about 8 tons. There are other firms en-
gaged in this business, and as they are frequently changing it would
be well always to consult with the commander of the port before
entering into any contract in reference to this matter.
Boat landings. The usual landing is at the quay. Good at all
tides but not lighted at night.
Shore boats. Shore boats available; legal tariff.
! Shore leave.-Facilities poor. Besides the picturesque features of
an oriental town there are cinematographs, skating rink, and a very
good theater. The hotels and restaurants are good. Liberty parties
may be sent ashore after agreement with the governor and superior
naval commander.
Patrols.--The governor allows patrols ashore and the question of
carrying arms by the patrol can be arranged upon application to the
superior naval commander. No difficulty would be encountered
along this line as the Government would doubtless appreciate the
cooperation of patrols.
Swimming, bathing, and athletics. There are very good facilities
for bathing a short distance from the city with very good beaches
both to the east and west. Swimming from ships is allowed, but as
the water in the port is not very clean it is advisable to bathe along
the beaches as aforesaid. There is one football field.
Shore drills and target practice.-Drilling is allowed on the authoriza-
tion of the governor. No rifle range.
Facilities for fresh water. The water is good and will be fur-
nished from the Pegano cistern belonging to the Royal Marine, which
has a capacity of 100 tons. Delivered in tank boats. The same
water is used for steam and drinking, coming from the Bumeliana
wells that supply the city and the new supply at Sciara Sciat.
Coaling facilities.-Tripoli does not have good facilities for coal-
ing. The Italian Marine has on hand a certain amount for its own
use, but it would be necessary to secure an order from the ministry of
marine to dispose of any. It is usual to transport the coal from shore
in lighters, and Arabs unload by use of baskets. The English Cardiff
coal is the prevailing grade in stock. There are a few private firms
that carry a small supply, but they can not be seriously considered.
No fuel oil or gasoline.

but engineer supplies are limited. Two dealers. No bumboats
Docking and repairing facilities.—No facilities.
Port regulations. There are no restrictions as to the number of
men-of-war allowed in port at one time; it is to be noted that only
about six men-of-war drawing not over 19 feet and four destroyers
can be accommodated at present in the harbor. Other ships would
have to anchor in the roadstead, which in the winter season is liable
to be very rough and unsafe. After three days it is necessary to
secure the permission of the ministry of marine for a longer visit.
Visits of men-of-war do not have to be previously announced, but
the announcement of any such visit by the American Embassy to the
Italian Royal Government would be greatly appreciated.
Sanitation and hospitals.-Sanitary conditions are fair, although
the public health is reported to be the best. There is no adequate
sewerage system or sufficient toilet conveniences for the public, and
in but a very few houses are found flush closets. The city board of
health is very active and the quarantine station is one of the finest in
the Mediterranean. There are very efficient Italian doctors in charge
of the different medical and hospital services. There are two hos-
pitals--the military in the Oasis and the civil in the city-to which
sick men from men-of-war can be sent.
Good mail, cable, and steamship services.

CHAPTER XX.
JAPAN.
REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE ENTRANCE OF JAPANESE PORTS BY
FOREIGN WAR VESSELS.
• There are no restrictions in time of peace concerning the number
of men-of-war under one flag that may enter any one of the open
ports of Japan or her possessions or as to the length of time they may
remain in port.
The open ports are:

If foreign men-of-war desire to enter any naval port, secondary
naval port, or any unopened port in Japan, Formosa, Korea, or Man-
churia, permission must be obtained from the Imperial Government
at Tokyo through diplomatic channels.
When a foreign commanding officer enters a port where a prefec-
tural office is situated, it is the custom on the part of the governor,
unless prevented by circumstances, to exchange calls with command-
ing officers; if the visiting officer's rank is above that of the governor,
the latter makes the first call, and in respect to a call made by a com-
manding officer whose rank is equal to or below that of the governor,
it is the custom for the governor to return the call. In the case of
a captain or an officer below that rank, a proxy is sometimes sent by
446
PORT DIRECTORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS. 447
the governor. In the absence of the prefectural governor the ex-
change of calls is usually dispensed with. The prefectural governors
in Japan rank in some cases with the vice admiral of the Imperial
Navy, and in other with rear admiral. The local American consular
officer can give information respecting the rank of the prefectural
governor.

EXTRACTS FROM PORT QUARANTINE REGULATIONS OF JAPAN.
ART. II. No vessel coming from any foreign port or Formosa to a port where sanitary
inspection is enforced shall be allowed to enter such port, or communicate with the
shore or other vessels, or to land passengers, crew, or cargo until after she shall, previous
to entrance, have undergone proper inspection and obtained pratique, according to
the present law.
Should any case of infectious or contagious disease occur on board of any vessel
mentioned in the last preceding paragraph after entrance into the port, such vessel
shall not be allowed to proceed to any other port, or communicate with the shore or
other vessel, or to land passengers, crew, or cargo until after she shall, under the direc-
tions of the inspecting officers, have undergone further inspection and obtained new
pratique.
ART. IV. Any vessel which arrives from any foreign port or Formosa, at a port
where sanitary inspection is enforced, shall, provided she comes under any of the
following clauses, hoist the quarantine signal, previous to her entrance into such port,
and shall keep it flying until pratique is obtained.
(1) Vessels actually carrying on board persons affected with, or the bodies of those
who have died of, any infectious or contagious disease.
(2) Vessels on board of which any case of, or death from, any infectious or contagious
disease shall have occurred during the voyage.
(3) Vessels coming from or having touched at a port infected with any infectious
or contagious disease, or having communicated with other vessels infected with any
such disease.
Vessels mentioned in the second paragraph of Article II shall hoist the quarantine
signal immediately upon the appearance of any case of infectious or contagious disease
and shall keep it flying until pratique is obtained.
The quarantine signal shall consist of a yellow flag displayed at the foremast head
during the daytime and two lanterns, one red and the other white, hoisted together
at the same place during the night.
ART. V. Should any vessel arriving from any foreign port or Formosa at a port
where no sanitary inspection is enforced come under one of the clauses enumerated
in the first paragraph of Article IV, or should any such vessel discover on board any
case of infectious or contagious disease while in port, she shall hoist the quarantine
signal in conformity with the provisions of the last preceding article and give notice
to the local police authorities, whose order she shall await. .
In the case mentioned in the last preceding paragraph, the vessel concerned shall,
if so ordered by the police authorities, immediately proceed to a port where sanitary
inspection is enforced and undergo proper inspection there.
In the case mentioned in the first paragraph of this article, the vessel in question
shall not be allowed to proceed to any other port, or communicate with the shore or
other vessels, or to land her passengers, crew, or cargo unless by the direction of the
police authorities.

ART. XIII. The commander or the surgeon of any ship of war, either Japanese or
foreign, arriving at a port where sanitary inspection is enforced, but not having on
board any case falling under one of the clauses enumerated in the first paragraph of
Article IV, shall give notice in writing to that effect to the inspecting officers.
Should any case be found on board any ship of war that falls under the second
paragraph of Article II or any of the clauses enumerated in the first paragraph of Ar-
ticle IV, the inspecting officers may restrain such ship from communicating with the
shore or other vessels, or from landing its crew or goods. Should any such ship of war
be found to fall under the provisions of Article V, the same measures may be taken
by the local police authorities.
448
PORT DIRECTORY OF PRINCIPAL FOREIGN PORTS.
When any case coming under the second paragraph of Article II or under Article V
has appeared on board such ship of war, the commander or the surgeon of the ship shall
give notice thereof either to the inspecting officers or police authorities.
In addition to the steps provided in the preceding three paragraphs for the inspec-
tion of ships of war, the inspecting officers shall, in consultation with the respective
commanders, adopt the necessary measures conformably to the provisions of the
present law.
Salutes.-When a Japanese man-of-war capable of returning a
salute is present, the customary salute is given, first inquiring if it
is the custom in that port to salute and if the salute will be returned.
No shore batteries exist at any Japanese port other than a naval
port or at Takeshiki or Eiko. Accordingly, upon the entrance of
a foreign warship into a Japanese port referred to in the preceding
clause (i. e., a port where no shore battery exists) the salute to the
national flag is not to be fired unless a Japanese warship happens to
be in the harbor at the time. But since the entrance of a Japanese
warship into the port where the above-mentioned foreign warship
is anchored will afford an opportunity for returning a salute to the
flag, the Japanese warship will in such case desire a saluté to be
fired by the foreign warship. As international salutes, it need
hardly be said, should be based upon the principle of reciprocity, the
provision of the preceding clause will also apply to the case of a
Japanese warship entering a foreign port. The opportunity referred
to in clause 3 will be availed of only by the first Japanese warship
entering the port. In the event of the Government of a foreign
power declining to agree to the principle laid down in clause 3,
the provision of clause 4 will not apply to the case of a Japanese
warship entering a port of the power. In the following naval ports
the salute is returned from the shore in case no Japanese man-of-war
is present, and hence the salute should always be given at these
ports:
Topan claves port. Ingre to the peply to the followi
Chinkai, Korea.
Yokosuka, naval barracks.
Kure, naval barracks.
Sasebo, naval barracks.
| Maizuru, naval barracks.
Bako (Pescadores), mining corps.
Ominato, shore battery.

Port regulations. Special rules and regulations for all of the ports
of Japan are contained in a Japanese Government publication enti-

any of the open ports of Japan on application.

the duties of a pilot if so desired. Fees, $30 to $40, Chilean currency.
Salutes. It is not a saluting port.
Wireless. There is no wireless station.
Officials and courtesies. It is not a military port. The captain of
the port, at present a retired lieutenant-commander of the Chilean
navy, is the only representative present. He will come off to the
ship with the Alcade and the acting American consular agent upon

American consular agent. There are really no official calls to be
made.
The Intendente of the Province of Atacama, of which Copiapo is
the capital, lives at Copiapo, 50 miles by rail from Caldera, and
should be called upon by the commanding officer of a visiting man-
of-war if practicable. He is entitled to a salute of 15 guns.
Quarantine regulations.-Same as Valparaiso. The captain of the
port grants pratique. A bill of health is required and issued by the
captain of the port in conjunction with the acting American con-
sular agent.
Anchorages.—Ships should lie at single anchor, the place of anchor-
ing being at the discretion of the commanding officer. There are no

captain of the port.
Swimming, bathing, and athletics.-Swimming may be allowed from

the earthquake on November 10, 1922. Coal would have to be
brought off to the ship in about 25-ton lighters; therefore coaling
would be very slow. Fuel oil not carried in bulk.

beef. Very excellent Spanish onions may be obtained exceedingly
cheap.
Docking and repairing facilities.—No dry docks. Repair facilities
limited to the capacity of the railroad shops, which are capable of

modify the regulations to suit conditions. There are no restrictions
as to numbers of ships in port or as to the length of stay.
Sanitation and hospitals.-The general sanitary conditions are poor,
as there is no sewage system. Fresh water is scarce, as it all must be
condensed from salt water. There are no prevalent diseases (Novem-
ber, 1922) and the general health of the community is excellent. No
hospital facilities; all patients are taken to Copiapo.
No cable station; all cables are telegraphed to Antofagasta.
Telegraph connections with all South America, and telephone con-
nection with Copiapo. All coasting steamers carry mail; mail goes
north once a week by rail from Caldera and south twice a week from
Caldera.
