Peter noted. 'There was a boom across the wider access to the harbour so most shipping had to enter via Lyemun Gap.  There was enough space at the south end of the boom for the Macau ferry, along with junks and smaller boats to squeeze through.  I believe that here was a smaller gap at the north end by Stonecutters Island.'
