Source of title:

Title based on the following caption from the NFB Photo Story: Bright lights atop LURCHER's swaying lantern mast -- ten seconds on, two seconds eclipse -- are visible for twenty miles at night, warning approaching vessels of shoal water and danger. Lurcher Shoal is a cluster of submerged rocks lying directly in the lane of Fundy-bound shipping, twenty miles off Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. In spite of heavy fog and battering seas that frequently mask the jagged shoals, free-sailing vessels ply their way in safety, thanks to the warning beacon of this permanently-anchored lightship.
