A daybeacon standing over Seaflower Reef off Long Island is a different kind of navigation aid from the tall towers usually shown on this board. Unlit and fixed in place, it carried a painted daymark so mariners could recognize a shoal or channel edge in daylight. Markers like this guided coastal traffic long before radio and satellite positioning, and their low profile on the reef makes them easy to overlook, even though they were part of the same coastal system the lighthouses served.
