Nore, The, sandbank, in estuary of river Thames, 3 miles NE. of Sheerness and 47 miles from London; at Its E. end is the Nore Light-Vessel, with revolving-light 50 ft. above high water and seen 10 miles. Generally speaking the name "Nore " is applied to the W. part of the river's estuary known as a famous anchorage. In 1797 the mutiny which broke out among the fleet stationed at the Nore blocked the navigation of the Thames.
