Mischief by destroying, moving or rendering less useful a light-house or sea-mark
AI Assist
Summary
Destroying, moving or otherwise making a lighthouse, sea-mark, buoy or any guide used by navigators less useful is an offence. It applies when someone tampers with these navigation aids so they no longer properly guide ships. Punishment is imprisonment for up to seven years, or a fine, or both.
Example
Priya removes a buoy that marks the safe channel into a harbour so smaller boats cannot find the route. Because that buoy is a sea-mark used by navigators, she can be punished with imprisonment for up to seven years, or a fine, or both.
