Semaphore station

1-1-025

Station established with a semaphore and from which the passage of ships can be observed and from which it is possible to communicate with them.

Note: In Britain a station of similar type but without a semaphore is called a coastguard station (not to be confused with the term 1-1-030).

Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
