Definition
A vessel aground exhibits three black balls in a vertical line by day, and by night the lights prescribed for a vessel at anchor together with two all-round red lights in a vertical line. In restricted visibility she gives three separate and distinct strokes on the bell immediately before and after the rapid ringing of the anchor signal. Vessels of less than 12 metres are not required to exhibit the aground lights and shapes.
