Soundings Made In Tauranga Harbour
"Comprehensive soundings of the Tauranga harbour have been carried out, partly by dead-line and partly by echo-sounding apparatus hired from the Napier Harbour
Board," stated the Minister of Works, Mr Goosman, when dealing with harbour works in his annual report presented to Parliament. The area covered by the soundings, approximately four and a half square miles, included the entrance and the channels leading to wharf sites both at Mount Maunganui and Tauranga. Several borings had been taken by jetting at the shallowest part of the Tauranga harbour entrance and the work was still in hand.'
