The Qualifications of the Haven - River disembogues into the Sea in a Bay within the Shingles, and about 3 Leagues without the Needles Westward The Town lyes about 2 Miles from the Mouth of it, and yet the Flood Tyde scarce Washes to it, And altho' there falls into this Haven two Considerable Freshes, the one from Salisbury, the other from Blandford, yet 'tis no Port for other Vessells than of 80 Tuns downwards.
Mean Tydes and incapable of improvement - Great Banks of Sand lye before it and not more than 2 ft. Water upon the Barr, nor Flowes on Spring Tydes more then 6 ft. upright, are insuperable impediments to those Offices, the Workes of the Navy require, therefore utterly incapable of such improvemts:.
