The Admiralty List of Lights and Fog Signals (sample)

The eleven volumes that make up the series of Admiralty List of Lights and Fog Signals for the World (NP74 - NP84) provide a complete and comprehensive listing of all lighthouses, lightships, lit floating marks (over 8m of elevation), fog signals and lights of navigational significance.

The information contained within each publication focuses primarily on the characteristics of lights and fog signals, together with a detailed and comprehensive listing of equivalent foreign language light descriptions. Tables for the calculation of the geographical and luminous ranges of lights are also included.
