Two masthead lights means it is towing. Two masthead lights means towing. Two
masthead lights are often called towing lights.

No. They're referred to as "masthead lights."

When you meet a tug towing behind
you will see the normal running lights plus the two towing lights (masthead lights)

This is where the confusion lies. Those two white lights tell you this vessel is
towing. Towing lights - get it?

Rule 21 (d) “Towing light” means a yellow light having the same characteristics as the “sternlight” defined in paragraph (c) of
this Rule."

Got it?

This is a "rules test." Not a "I forgot the rules so I'll just make up nonsense test."

You're right. I didn't feel the need for points this time. I only got interesting when I saw how poorly Joe and Neal were
doing.

Neal and Joe are both wrong, it is not B or D.

But I did say that they were both wrong on this one.



I'll admit it is not a simple question. These are the
typical confusing questions the USCG asks.


A towing light is defined as being "just like a stern light, except yellow." How can that be confused with white, all around,
or at the bow? There are lots of confusing questions; this is not one of them.
