A stern light is a white navigation light on the rear (stern) of a watercraft. It helps other vessels determine the direction the boat is headed in low visibility conditions or at night. The white light indicates the boat's position and helps prevent collisions on the water.
A white object will reflect the white light. (that's why we perceive the object to be white).

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.
Red light means the Port side of the boat. Port side is the left side. The white light is lighting indicating the stern (back) . The white light when seen alone means the boat is anchored. There is also a green light on the Starboard side (right side)
