Lights for Ships at Anchor.

Art. 7. Ships, whether Steam Ships or Sailing Ships, when at Anchor in Roadsteads or
Fairways, shall exhibit, where it can best be seen, but at a Height not exceeding Twenty Feet
above the Hull, a White Light, in a globular Lantern of Eight Inches in Diameter, and so
constructed as to show a clear uniform and unbroken Light visible all round the Horizon, and
at a Distance of at least One Mile.

Lights for Pilot Vessels.

Art. 8. Sailing Pilot Vessels shall not carry the Lights required for other Sailing Vessels,
but shall carry a White Light at the Mast-head, visible all round the Horizon, and shall also
exhibit a Flare-up Light every Fifteen Minutes.

Lights for Fishing Vessels and Boats.

Art. 9. Open Fishing Boats and other open Boats shall not be required to carry the Side
Lights required for other Vessels; but shall, if they do not carry such Lights, carry a Lantern
having a Green Slide on the one Side and a Red Slide on the other Side; and on the Approach
of or to other Vessels, such Lantern shall be exhibited in sufficient Time to prevent Collision,
so that the Green Light shall not be seen on the Port Side, nor the Red Light on the Starboard
Side.

Fishing Vessels and open Boats when at Anchor, or attached to their Nets and stationary,
shall exhibit a bright White Light.
Fishing Vessels and open Boats shall, however, not be prevented from using a Flare-up in
addition, if considered expedient.
