Light Stations

Light stations are navigational aids used at harbors, coasts, or along waterways to guide ships safely. They consist of lights, sometimes combined with sounds or signals, positioned at strategic locations like shorelines, buoys, or lighthouses. These lights help mariners identify safe passages, avoid hazards, and determine their position at night or in poor visibility conditions. The color, pattern, and timing of the lights convey specific information about hazards, navigational routes, or port entries, ensuring safe and efficient maritime navigation.
