This was filmed in 1993. My video gear wasn't "brill" in those days and struggled in the poor lighting, but nether the less, this is my record of one night on board Lightship number 18. The Lightships were a different part of Trinity House and us Keepers didn't serve on them. So my record of this is from what I was told at the time and what I found out later. There were several Lightships being made redundant, some scrapped, some saved. I've since discovered that Lightship 18 was saved and can be visited in Harwich Harbour, Essex.
Oh yes, this following link, is how another redundant Lightship was reborn!
