Which one of the following signals is made at night by a lifesaving station to indicate "Landing here highly dangerous"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• International Life-Saving signals between shore and ship • Difference between "safe to land" and "dangerous to land" signals • Meaning of vertical vs horizontal movement of lights or flares

💭 Think About

• Which type of motion (vertical or horizontal) would more intuitively suggest "do NOT come in" compared to "come ahead"? • Think about how a shore station, possibly in bad weather, would clearly warn a boat away using a simple light movement. • Compare which of these signals could be confused with a "distress" or "attention" signal instead of a clear "danger to land here" warning.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in current International Code of Signals/life-saving signals which specific motion means "landing here highly dangerous". • Distinguish carefully between signals used by lifesaving stations to communicate with boats and general distress signals. • Make sure you are not mixing up the signal for "safe to land here" with the one for "landing here highly dangerous".
