sugar you are not supposed to read the directions ,HAR!Someone said there should be a separate category for jokes because they expect general chit chat to be photography related. But doesn't it say on the heading of Chit Chat, that it is NOT photography related?

You know, I just do not go along with that little tale being real...
For one thing, a lighthouse is on Land... Land shows up extremly good on Radar... Every vessel in that group HAS radar and believe me, radar operators are very adapt at telling the diff between land and another ship....
Nope, don't believe a word of that story...

Very late reply, but Lighthouses are NOT necessarily on land visible to radar.
Stannard Rock Light in the states is 24 miles from the land. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stannard_Rock_Light - warning of sub surface rocks
Bell Rock light is 11 miles out to sea.
Sule Skerry is 35 miles from the mainland & on an island small enough to look like a ship to radar.
Round my way it's more likely to just be unmanned bouys marking sandbanks...
Details of the story vary widely with the version, some variants of the story even predate naval radar.
