shapes used on these markers:

Range Markers
Range markers have many color schemes, may
have numbers or letters and may be lighted or
unlighted. They are placed in pairs within close
distance of each other. They are commonly used
in channels to guide boats safely through the
center or safe line of navigation. Keep range
markers visually in line with each other while
navigating the waterway to avoid obstacles or
other invisible dangers.
