Sorry for the rookie question but what is the steaming light?

 

For sailboats I am aware of the deck bi-color, masthead and stern lights, 
tri-color (which is mounted  on the mast and used as an alternate to the deck 
mounted bi-color and stern lights, and the anchor light. Is “steaming light” 
another term for masthead light?

… and I could could buy a bigger (C&C!) boat if I had a dollar for every time I 
have seen the tri-color AND the ship’s running lights on at night. Here’s 
another one that I found “amusing”, sailboat under power, tri-color light on, 
and the steaming light lit. Now there’s an interesting lighting configuration.

 

Cheers,

Bob, a tricolor is indeed a substitute for deck level running lights. But it 
may only be used while sailing. And it should never be used in addition to deck 
level lights.

Joe:  it is my understanding that a masthead tricolor is not a substitute for 
deck-level running lights--it can and should be used in addition.
