This type of ship is unfortunately threatened by extinction and is being replaced by
unmanned lightships or buoys almost worldwide. With our webpage we would like to try to preserve lightships in word and picture as one of the most important nautical aids of the past.

All of the information on these pages, we have been collecting during the last years from books, the internet or even locally. We would be pleased about further information of all types.

Please look at the category "Help needed" - here we have unanswered questions about lightships and need your help.

The button "Logbook" will show you the news of this webpage.

Please remember, that we are still working on these pages,
but we hope you will come again to see what's new!
