# you see...
on the water, near structures or sensitive shores, there are signs that say 'no wake' - which means 'don't be makin' no waves here'
Source photo - in this photo, you see, there is a channel marker that probably has some tide/flow tracking equipment and they want to minimize waves by passing vessels.

a wake, is also a funeral term where people get together to mourn the dead.

I got the funeral part, it was the other reference that troubled me.

But woo for your explanation.
