You are on the beach and want to signal to a small boat in distress that your present location is dangerous and that they should land to the left. How would you indicate this?
• Distress and Life-Saving Signals in the International Code of Signals • How visual signals from shore to a vessel indicate "this place is dangerous" and "move in a specific direction" • Difference between colored pyrotechnics (red/green stars) and coded light signals/flags
• Which option specifically conveys BOTH ideas: 1) your present location is dangerous, and 2) the vessel should land to the left? • Think about what green vs. white light normally indicates in navigation and distress signaling—does green usually mean danger or something else? • Which of these looks most like a formal code signal intended to give a precise instruction, rather than a general distress or attention signal?
• Verify which code or light signal combination in the International Code of Signals means "this place is dangerous" and "it is better to come this way" or "go that way." • Check whether colored stars (especially green) are used to direct a vessel’s landing position, or mainly for other purposes. • Confirm which choice combines a specific signal (letter or code) with a clear indication of direction (such as pointing or a placed marker).
