Keeping the lights shining
 
Hoping there may be members on the forum that collect image of lightvessels,
They are regularly sold on the internet auction websites so they must be out there somewhere !!
I have a page on Facebook where I am archiving images and information on the UK lightvessel service, with section son each lightvessel, stations and also TH depots
If anyone has anything to share I welcome your contributions and it would be good to hear from former crews
Old Images that are dated or identify the lv number are a bonus
Thanks Lyndon.

Southampton light vessel. 170 tons. 84.46 x 20x. 10 Built 1914 locally by Thornycroft. 6 crew. Moved from Southampton docks on 12/12/19 to local air museum 1.2k along road. After a refurbishment of £70000 it will be part of tea rooms at museum with a walkway joining the two.No doubt all completed by now.

And, welcome to SH Lyndon, You have no doubt found that the gallery is much easier to navigate than 'another place' that you visit.
