obeyed if you are in charge of any vessel capable of being used for transport on
water, and if that vessel is on the high seas, or any navigable waters connected with
the high seas. Here are a few summarised general rules that you must be aware of:

FORT REGENT SIGNALS.
MAINTAINING THE TRADITION.
It is said that signals have been flown from the site
of the Fort Regent signal station on La Mont de la
Ville since 1708. Following the ending of the service
in December 2004, a small team from the Maritime
Museum Boatshop worked out a new set of signals and
took over responsibility for the signal mast in January
2005 with the support of the States.
