The limits of the Port of London as at present defined commence at High Water Mark in the River

County of Essex, to the lands end at Warden Point, in the Isle of Sheppey, in the County of Kent, such
point being the North-Western limit of the Port of Faversham, and shall extend up and include both sides
of the River Medway to an imaginary straight line drawn from the South-East point of land westward of
Goalmouth Creek, thence across the said River Medway to the Westernmost point of the piece of land
which forms the Eastern side of the Stangate Creek, or, in other words, the North-West point of Fleet
Marsh, and from thence in a Southerly direction to Iwade Church, in the said County of Kent, and thence
in a North-Easterly direction to Elmley Chapel, in the said Isle of Sheppey, a supposed direct line from
Elmley Chapel to Iwade Church, being the Western limit of the Port of Faversham, and the said Port of
London shall include the Islands of Havengore Creek aforesaid, called Potton and Rushley Islands, and so
much of the said Creek and watercourse as extends from it to the town of Rochford, and shall also include
all other islands, rivers, streams, creeks, waters, watercourses, channels, harbours, docks and places within
