Which volume of the Light List covers the Great Lakes?

• A. Volume 5
• B. Volume 7
• C. Volume 1
• D. Volume 3

Answer: (B)

Navigational aids publications are organized by geographic region so mariners can quickly find relevant data for the waters they’re navigating. The Great Lakes sit inland and have their own set of lights, buoys, and signals specific to that area, so they’re compiled into a dedicated regional volume. That volume is Volume 7, which contains all the Great Lakes entries, including light characteristics, positions, and ranges. When planning a transit on the Great Lakes, you’d consult Volume 7 for the most accurate and complete information. Other volumes cover different coastal regions and wouldn’t include the Great Lakes entries.
