Description
Abandoned harbour which has not been dredged in a long time. Charts are unreliable, but in theory the bottom is all siltation, so it might be soft. Ensure you follow your depth sounder as you enter. Mooring possible on the outer portion of the North side.
Historic Maritime Feature
Abandoned harbour with lots of siltation. Satellite images provide a good indication of siltation.
