What does two short blasts signal on the Great Lakes?

  1. Danger or confusion

  2. I want to pass you on my starboard side

  3. Altering course to Port

  4. Engine is in reverse

The correct answer is: I want to pass you on my starboard side

Two short blasts signal on the Great Lakes is used to indicate that the ship is about to pass another ship on the starboard side. Option A (Danger or confusion) is incorrect because three short blasts signal danger or confusion. Option C (Altering course to Port) and Option D (Engine is in reverse) are incorrect because they are not specific to the Great Lakes and are used for different signals. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate and specific answer.
