ID: battenberg-course-indicator
The Battenberg course indicator, sometimes referred to in maritime contexts, is a visual tool used primarily in navigation and ship handling. It is characterized by its distinctive alternating colored squares, typically arranged in a checkerboard pattern. The term "Battenberg" itself is derived from the Battenberg family, but in this context, it refers to the specific type of pattern used for marking out courses or navigating in busy waterways.
