When returning to the harbor, you will see a green light on the left side of the ship channel and a red light on the right side of the channel. Go outside those lights and you may run aground onto the bottom in shallow water. Just remember this old adage: "Red on Right when Returning". The opposite is true when departing the harbor to go to sea, i.e., red light will be on the left and green light will be on the right.

What does red green and white lights on a boat mean at night?

At night, boats are supposed to display navigational lights; these are red, green, and white. The lights are screened/shielded so that each light is only visible from a certain range of directions.If you are on a boat and can see the red, green, and white navigational lights from another boat all at the same time, you should watch out, because that means that it is moving directly toward you and there is the possibility of a collision.
