A vintage sterling silver and green glass bead charm pendant of a ship's starboard/green lantern. Ships pass oncoming vessels in a port to port (right side to right side) manner. This prevents confusion should either ship's navigator steer a sharp turn to the side. The green light is used on the starboard side and simply means that the ships do not pass starboard to starboard when they approach each other. |
