🔍 Key Concepts

• COLREGS applicability – where the International Rules begin and end relative to inland waters • The difference between Inland Rules and International Rules and where the demarcation lines are drawn • How COLREGS Demarcation Lines are used near Long Island, Block Island, and New London

💭 Think About

• Think about which areas in the question are considered inland waters versus high seas / international waters under the COLREGS Demarcation Lines • Consider where the official demarcation line would likely be drawn relative to harbor mouths, sounds, and coastal points • Ask yourself: at what point does a vessel generally switch from Inland Rules to International Rules when leaving a U.S. port for sea?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which of the listed locations is most clearly seaward of the COLREGS demarcation line, not inside inland waters • Verify which options describe being offshore between coastal headlands versus inside a harbor or sound • Confirm in your mind that International Rules apply on the high seas and certain waters connected to them and compare that principle to each answer choice
