Signal Station

A Signal Station is a facility used for maritime communication, primarily to send and receive navigational and safety information between ships and coast-based authorities. It historically employed visual signals like flags, lights, and signal systems, and now often uses radio and electronic communications to relay important data such as weather updates, safety warnings, and navigation instructions. The station ensures ships operate safely, coordinate movements, and respond quickly in emergencies. Essentially, it serves as a vital link maintaining safe and efficient maritime traffic and safety operations along coastlines and waterways.
