Lights and Signals
Lights and Signals
Navigation lights and signals tell other vessels not only where you are, but what you are doing. Using these lights and signals properly is an important part of safe navigation.
The following diagrams show some of the navigation lights and shapes exhibited by fishing vessels less than 20 meters in length.
(Note: a vessel that is "underway" is one that is not anchored, made fast to shore, or aground.)
