What is the purpose of a masthead light?

  1. Indicates the vessel is anchored

  2. Shows the vessel is under engine power

  3. Signals a distress situation

  4. Marks the vessel's port side

The correct answer is: Shows the vessel is under engine power

A masthead light serves as an indicator that the vessel is under engine power. Option A, indicating the vessel is anchored, is incorrect because an anchor light is used for that purpose. Option C, signaling a distress situation, is incorrect because a distress signal would be made using a separate light or communication method. Option D, marking the vessel's port side, is incorrect because a red navigational light is typically used for this purpose.
