INLAND ONLY Vessels "A" and "B" are meeting on a river as shown in illustration D041RR below and will pass 1/4 mile apart. Which is one of the lights on vessel "B" that you will see if you are on vessel "A"?

Correct Answer: Option C — special flashing light

33 CFR 83.24 (Rule 24) and Annex V require a special flashing light for vessels pushing ahead or towing alongside on Western Rivers. This yellow light, flashing at 50-70 flashes per minute, is placed at the forward end of the tow to provide clear identification of the vessel's configuration.
