BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel engaged in fishing during the day would show which shape?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) two cones, apexes together.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a vessel engaged in fishing during the day must display two cones with their apexes together. This shape identifies the vessel as one engaged in fishing and helps other vessels recognize its limited maneuverability.
The other options are incorrect because: A) two cones with bases together is the shape for a vessel not under command, C) a cone, apex downward is the shape for a vessel constrained by her draft, and D) one black ball is the shape for a vessel at anchor.
