🔍 Key Concepts

• Private aids to navigation vs. federal (USCG-maintained) aids • What information is contained in the Light List • Purpose of Sailing Directions and who publishes them

💭 Think About

• Which of these publications is specifically designed as an official US reference for lights, buoys, and other aids on U.S. waters? • Which title sounds like it might exist, but is actually not a standard, widely used USCG navigation publication? • Which option is more related to ocean passages and coastal descriptions for international voyages rather than listing individual U.S. private aids?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a real and well‑known USCG or NOAA publication used on license exams • Eliminate any publication that mainly gives narrative sailing information instead of tabular listings of aids • Focus on the publication that lists lights, buoys, daybeacons, and other aids by region along U.S. coasts and inland waters
