Range Light Operations
Photographer: Nate Davidson
Taken: May 9, 2013
Caption: Range Light Operations
Additional Description: Range lights are always paired and when lined up one over the other, indicate to the mariner that he is on a safe course. By steering a course which keeps these structures in line, the mariner will remain within the channel. If the vessel were to drift left or right, the rear light would appear to the left or right respectively.
