    The Munro tide gauge in a stone building, at the corner of the Quay D,  was 
    dismantled in the early 1970's.  The Zero of the recorder corresponds to  a 
    marked  level situated seven feet below the level of the Quay.  This  datum 
    point  denotes  the  level of the mean low water at spring  tides.  It  was 
    selected  in  1929  after taking the average of the low water  spring  tide 
    levels over a 48 month period.
