Buoys are aids to navigation. Typically, a buoy is anchored in place, and serves to direct a boat or ship pilot away from hazards, or toward lanes and channels. This is a nun buoy, so-named because of its conical shape, like a nun's habit. Nun buoys are painted red, have even numbers, and denote the right-hand side of a channel when heading upstream. This buoy was used in the main channel off Havre de Grace, before it was retired by the U.S. Coast Guard.| HM Number | HM2JUO |
