A green light is a navigation light. Under international navigation rules, if a green light is visible on the starboard side, one must not pass to that side; the general rule of navigation is to keep to the right. Consequently, reaching Daisy requires taking a wide detour. Note that it is possible to install a private pier with the permission of the Commandant of the Coast Guard. The lighting must meet prescribed standards for illuminance and color, and the light must remain continuously illuminated; flashing lights are prohibited.

Since the days of Dutch colonization, Long Island Sound had developed as a base for small-scale whaling and trade with Europe, later becoming a hub for the fishing and shipping industries. Consequently, the area was dotted with countless harbors, making it an ideal entry point during the Prohibition era. Rather than inferior moonshine, the liquor sold there was high-quality stock imported directly from Europe, fetching premium prices (Old Sport - Section 5).

This was the Golden Hat. (Pulitzer’s Building, it was lost in New York).

From a psychological perspective, the opening quatrain symbolizes the entire story. The "golden hat" refers to the spire of the *New York World* building, which was clad in gold-plated copper sheeting; the figures leaping about are the paper's president, editor-in-chief Herbert Bayard Swope, and Fitzgerald himself. After being discharged from the army, Fitzgerald had triumphantly marched into the newspaper offices demanding a job, only to be mocked by a receptionist—an indignity he deeply resented.

That building—the nerve center of Joseph Pulitzer’s power (a figure referred to simply as "He," an arrogant monster looming over the city) and of yellow journalism, that "technique for hooking the masses"—stands as an overwhelming ruler (an embodiment of masculine power) reigning over New York.

However, Daisy, Jordan, and Myrtle—who appear in the story—are all portrayed as hollow figures that drive empty men to madness. In this context, the pronoun used is "she."

Therefore, in concrete terms, it is "him," but in terms of the story's content, it is "her."
