Transit definition is defined as what?

• A. Navigation using visible landmarks
• B. Line formed by two objects
• C. Wreck symbol
• D. Tide station symbol

Answer: (B)

Transit is a line formed by two fixed objects used in navigation to establish an alignment. You choose two landmarks that line up on a straight line; when they appear collinear, you know you’re on the transit line. This helps you fix your position or steer along a safe course by keeping that alignment in view. It’s a specific technique within pilotage, not just general landmark navigation, and it isn’t about chart symbols like wrecks or tide stations.
