The diagram is entered from thebottom border using the nominal range listed in column 6 of this book.The intersection of the nominal range with the appropriate visibilitycurve (or, more often, a point between two curves) yields, by movinghorizontally to the left border, the luminous range.(This range may be reduced by the glare of other lights)The nominal range given in this Light List is the maximum distance agiven light can be seen when the meteorological visibility is 10 nauticalmiles. If the existing visibility is less than 10 NM, the range at whichthe light can be seen will be reduced below its nominal range. And, ifthe visibility is greater than 10 NM, the light can be seen at greaterdistances. The distance at which a light may be expected to be seenin the prevailing visibility is called its luminous range.0.40.3METEORLOGICAL VISIBILITYrds50 ya(From International Visibility Code)ters50 me0.20123 4 5 6 810152025303540450.1NOMINAL RANGEStatute MilesGEOGRAPHIC RANGE TABLEThe following table gives the approximate geographic range of visibility for an object which may be seen by an observer at sea level.

USCG NAVIGATION CENTERNavigation Information Service (NIS)The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN) is the official government source of information for civil users of theGlobal Positioning System (GPS). The Navigation Information Service (NIS) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week,for all Radio Navigation and maritime related needs via phone, fax or e-mail. The NIS provides users the ability to accessreal time or archived GPS, NDGPS, DGPS, and LNM information at https://www.navcen.uscg.gov, as well as subscribe toan automated list service which enables users to receive GPS status messages and Notice to NAVSTAR User (NANU)messages via direct Internet e-mail.The NAVCEN also disseminates GPS and DGPS safety advisory broadcast messages through USCG broadcast stations utilizing VHF-FM voice, HF-SSB voice, and NAVTEX broadcasts. The broadcasts provide the GPS and DGPS user in the marineenvironment with the current status of the navigation systems, as well as any planned/unplanned system outages that couldaffect GPS and DGPS navigational accuracy.To comment on any of these services or ask questions about the service offered, contact the NAVCEN at:Commanding OfficerU.S. Coast Guard NAVCEN (NIS) MS73107323 Telegraph RoadAlexandria, VA 20598-7310 Phone:(703) 313-5900FAX: (703) 313-5920Internet: https://www.navcen.uscg.govThis Light List is corrected through:Eleventh Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners No. 01/19Thirteenth Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners No. 01/19Fourteenth Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners No. 01/19Seventeenth Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners No. 01/19 and throughNational Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Notice to Mariners No.01/19The 2019 edition supersedes the 2018 edition.RECORD OF CORRECTIONSYEAR 2019YEAR .47.48.49.50.46.47.48.49.50.51.52.51.52.v2.3.4.5.
PREFACELights and other marine aids to navigation, maintained by or under authority of the U.S. Coast Guard and located on watersused by general navigation, are described in the Light List. This volume includes aids located on the PacificCoast, Pacific Islands, and the Coast of Alaska.Included are all Coast Guard aids to navigation used for general navigation such as lights, sound signals, buoys, daybeacons,and other aids to navigation. Not included are some buoys having no lateral significance, such as special purpose, anchorage,fish net, and dredging.Aids to Navigation Link: http://www.uscgboating.org/ATON/index.htmlCAUTION: Mariners attempting to pass a buoy close aboard risk collision with a yawing buoy or with the obstruction, which thebuoy marks. Mariners must not rely on buoys alone for determining their positions due to factors limiting buoy reliability.PRIVATE AIDS TO NAVIGATIONIncluded: Class I aids to navigation on marine structures or other works which the owners are legally obligated to establish,maintain, and operate as prescribed by the Coast Guard.Included: Class II aids to navigation exclusive of Class I, located in waters used by general navigation.Not included: Class III aids to navigation exclusive of Class I and Class II, located in waters not ordinarily used by general navigation.LIGHT LIST AVAILABLITYThis Light List is published electronically annually and is intended to furnish more complete information concerning aids to navigation than can be conveniently shown on charts. This Light List is not intended to be used in place of charts or Coast Pilots.Charts should be consulted for the location of all aids to navigation. It may be dangerous to use aids to navigation without reference to charts.This list is corrected to the date of the notices to mariners shown on the title page. Changes to aids to navigation during theyear are advertised in U.S. Coast Guard Local Notices to Mariners and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Noticesto Mariners. Important changes to aids to navigation are also broadcast through Coast Guard or Naval radio stations andNAVTEX. Mariners should keep their Light Lists, charts and other nautical publications corrected from these notices and shouldconsult all notices issued after the date of publication of this Light List.The electronic version of this publication is available at: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/index.php?pageName lightListsA weekly-updated electronic copy of this publication is also available at:https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/index.php?pageName lightListWeeklyUpdatesReporting Aids to Navigation Discrepanies: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName atonOutageReportIMPORTANT: A summary of corrections for this publication, which includes corrections from the dates shown on the titlepage to the date of availability, is advertised in the Local Notice to Mariners and the Notice to Mariners. These correctionsmust be applied in order to bring the Light List up-to-date. Additionally, this publication should be corrected weekly from theLocal No-tices to Mariners or the Notices to Mariners, as appropriate.Mariners and others are requested to bring any apparent errors or omissions in these lists to the attention of:Commander (dpw)Eleventh Coast Guard DistrictBuilding 50-2Coast Guard IslandAlameda, CA 94501-5100Commander (dpw)Thirteenth Coast Guard District915 2nd Avenue 35th Floor, Rm 3510Seattle, WA 98174-1067Commander (dpw)Fourteenth Coast Guard District300 Ala Moana Blvd.Room 9-220Honolulu, Hi 96850-4982Commander (dpw)Seventeenth Coast Guard DistrictPO Box 25517Juneau, AK 99802-5517viorUSCG Navigation CenterCharting BranchMS 73107323 Telegraph RoadAlexandria, VA 20598-7310Email: TIS-PF-NISWS@USCG.MIL
INTRODUCTIONLight List ArrangementIn the context of the Light List, aids to navigation on the coasts are arranged in geographic orderclockwise from north to south along to Atlantic coast, east to west along the Gulf of Mexico, andsouth to north along the Pacific coast. On the Great Lakes, aids to navigation are arranged fromeast to west and from south to north, except on Lake Michigan, which is arranged from northto south. Seacoast aids to navigation are listed first, followed by entrance and harbor aids tonavigation, arranged from seaward to the head of navigation.Names of aids to navigation are printed as follows to help distinguish at a glance the type of aidto navigation.Seacoast/Lake coast Lights and Secondary LightsRACONSSound SignalsRIVER, HARBOR, OTHER LIGHTS, AND VIRTUAL AISLighted BuoysDaybeacons, Unlighted Buoys, and Virtual Automatic Identification System (V-AIS) ATONLight List numbers are assigned to all Federal aids to navigation and many private aids tonavigation for reference in the Light List. Aids to navigation are numbered by fives inaccordance with their order of appearance in each volume of the Light List. Other numbers anddecimal fractions are assigned where newly established aids to navigation are listed betweenpreviously numbered aids to navigation. The Light Lists are renumbered periodically to assignwhole numbers to all aids to navigation.International numbers are assigned to certain aids to navigation in cooperation with theInternational Hydrographic Organization. They consist of an alphabetic character followed bythree or four numeric characters. A cross reference listing appears after the index.Description of ColumnsColumn (1): Light List Number.Column (2): Name and location of the aid to navigation.Note: A dash (-) is used to indicate the bold heading is part of the name of the aidto navigation. When reporting discrepancies or making references to such an aidto navigation in correspondence, the full name of the aid including the geographicheading, should be given.Bearings are in degrees true, read clockwise from 000 through 359 .Bearings on range lines are given in degrees and tenths or hundredths whereapplicable.(C) indicates Canadian aid to navigation.Column (3): Geographic position of the aid to navigation in latitude and longitude.Column (4): Light characteristic for lighted aids to navigation.vii
