  BUOY. A piece of wood, or an empty barrel, floating on the water, to show 
  the place where it is shallow, to indicate the danger there is to 
  navigation. The act of Congress, approved the 28th September, 1850, enacts, 
  " that all buoys along the coast, in bays, harbors, sounds, or channels, 
  shall be colored and numbered, so that passing up the coast or sound, or 
  entering the bay, harbor or channel, red buoys with even numbers, shall be 
  passed on the starboard hand, black buoys, with uneven numbers, on the port 
  hand, and buoys with red and black stripes on either hand. Buoys in channel 
  ways to be colored with alternate white and black perpendicular stripes."
