White sailboats on dark water
It's called a lantern.
On a mooring none,if fishing or at anchor a white light at mast or stern.
No they dont.
Properly, it is a white light, and elevated higher than the red/green lights on the front of the boat.
You are approaching the stern of another vessel
Display an all-around white light.
When operating a powerboat at night white light should be shown on the stern and red and green lights on the bow.
A white light used by itself which can be seen in all directions is the anchor light, which means you are anchored. A white used in conjunction with bow lights (green and red) are your navigation lights. The white light indicates your stern ( back of boat). If all you can see is the white light, a boat is either anchored or underway going away from you.
