Diagrams showing the speed of the current in a longitudinal section
of the Rapids at various states of the tide are given in Fig. 5. The vertical scale is exaggerated. The fastest flow is found can the downstream
side of the Sill, that is, to the north during inflow ( 2 m sec-l) and to the
south during outflow (3 m sec-l). The greatest speed a t any time was
