🚢 RED & GREEN NAVIGATION LIGHTS - WHY THEY MATTER ⚓

Ever noticed ships have red on the port side and green on the starboard side?
It’s not random - it’s science and safety at sea 🌊

🔴 Red = Port (Left Side)
Red light travels farther in fog and low visibility.
Used for centuries to mark the left side of the ship.

🟢 Green = Starboard (Right Side)
Green is brighter and easier to spot from a distance -
helps identify a vessel’s direction instantly.

⚓ Purpose:
To prevent collisions.
If you see red - give way.
If you see green - you have the right of way.

A simple rule that keeps the oceans safe since 1836 🌍
