Buoyed Approaches to a Port - diorama with models of buoys and topmarks
The models illustrate the buoyage system which was in operation around the British Isles until 1979. The Lateral System of Buoyage was based on the International Agreement for a Uniform System of Maritime Buoyage. This system was agreed upon in 1936, and was superseded in 1979.
