- Yeah. Maybe even less.

- It's really impressive
from the drone.

You can actually...
- It really is.

narrator: To guide them safely
around the killer shoals,

"Ingomar's" crew depended
on two types of beacons...

♪ ♪

Lighthouses along the shore
and lightships

that marked where the shoals
ended and safe water began.

- Frying Pan Shoals lightship
would have had two masts.

It would have a beacon
on each mast,

and that would
warn the sailors

of the end of the shoals.

narrator: But the 1920s
and '30s saw the construction

of larger and larger ships,
which required deeper water.

- As ships have deeper drafts,

they're going to move that
lightship further out

away from the shoals because
these deeper draft vessels

are going to have to make a
wider berth around the shoals.

So the charts have
to be constantly updated.

If you don't have the updated
charts, all bets are off.

six months before

In an era before GPS,
it was a constant challenge

"This light
might be this lighthouse."

that night.

They had outdated charts

the lightship had been moved.
