Really? Maybe not the xenon “ice lights” but all the “seagoing commercial ships” (as you say) that I’ve sailed on had searchlights on the wheelhouse… Not all of us in the bayou now are “boat trash.” Some of us might actually be “edjumacated” to driving real ships as well, so yeah… Crystal could have used a searchlight (of SOME sort) that probably would have put out a damn sight more light than the dinky little ALDIS lamps I’ve had the displeasure of using during UNREPs as well.
