🔍 Key Concepts

• International shore-to-ship rescue signals used with breeches buoy or lifeboat operations • Difference between commands like "slack away" or "tail block is made fast" (work instructions) and visual assurance/acknowledgment signals • Use of pyrotechnic (flare) signals to communicate status in a rescue, especially at night

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a rescue from shore to a stranded vessel, which type of message would most logically be sent with a bright red star rocket that can be seen from far away? • Which options sound like very specific line-handling commands that would usually be shouted, flagged, or sound-signaled rather than using a high, bright flare? • Think about which message would most reassure people in distress and needs to be visible at a distance and in darkness.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in your lifeboat/rescue manual the standard meanings of red star signals in shore-to-ship rescue operations • Identify which options are detailed deck/rigging commands versus a general status/assurance message • Confirm which type of message must be communicated visibly over long distance and in poor visibility — that will point you toward the correct choice.
