Range Lights
Range lights are usually visible in one direction and help a boat operator navigate
safely. Steering a course to keep range lights arranged in a line (one on top of the
other) will help guide a boat through a channel.
Lighthouses
Lighthouses can be found at harbor entrances, prominent
headlands, isolated danger areas and along the coasts. These
striped or patterned structures have unique flashing signals,
which help boaters identify them.
