BELFAST LOUGH.
The fine sea bay leading to the River Lagan and harbour of Belfast, is about twelve miles long, and on an average about three broad. It is, however, shallow, the depth only ranging from about 2.5 to perhaps 10 fathoms, and portions being left bare at low tide. To give access to the port the Harbour Commissioners were obliged in 1840 to cut or deepen a channel, by which vessels of over 20 feet in draught can reach the city. The bottom, being of blue mud, affords good anchorage. At the head, near the city, places are set apart for bathing, including one for ladies. Our view of the Lough is taken from the Antrim Road.
