I believe the "Battleships" are 41 or 44 footers, certainly not the largest vessels on the lake by a long shot.

As for the stern light I don't know the answer to that one off the top of my head. I think it needs to be on the stern because there is an all around white light required on the masthead so if that is the only white light you saw then you might want to point that out to them, but I am not certain without looking up the regs on that size boat.

Times have certainly changed since Mr Cates patroled Alton Bay, the islands are more populated for one not to mention the increase in the use of the lake. There is a lot to be said about having officiers assigned to specific areas of the lake getting to know residents but that goes to the staffing issue again.
