A tugboat pulling a barge will display yellow lights when underway. Be careful not to go between the barge and the tugboat though!. There is a thin line connecting the two. A man once killed his whole family by hitting that line.

What color is a vessel's stern light?
The stern light on a vessel is typically white with a 135 degree cone of visibility. From the 1980 US Inland Rules only pilot vessels, vessels aground, vessels not under command or vessels with restricted maneuverability may show red astern. The combination and orientAtion of red and white all-around lights is dictated by category. A towing vessel shall have a yellow light above it's stern light whether towing behind or alongside. The 1972 International Rules do not provide for the yellow towing light astern when the towed vessel is alongside of the towing vessel. Lastly, a sailing vessel under 20 meters in length may at her option display an all-around red over green at her masthead. As a matter of common practice the author has never actually seen this.
Besides the standard red and green running lights what other lights do ship's display when under way?
All power vessels must have a white Stern light. Rules differ slightly between power boats and sailing vessels, where sailing vessels can have both their port, starboard and stern lights on their mast. An all around white light denotes a vessel at anchor. If a vessel is longer then I think its 200', then they must have two all around white lights, one forward and one aft in addition to their red and green navigation lights. Vessels towing have a yellow light which signifies they are towing. They also have the back white light. The white light stands higher in the air its usually on a post or something so it could be higher in the air.
