Spurn Lightship

Week 36 Hull Marina

The lightship was built in 1927, had no engine so was towed into its position in the Humber estuary, where it stayed for over thirty years! It had a crew of four and provided a light and fog horn to warn shipping of the dangerous sand banks. It was retired in 1975 and is now a floating museum in the Hull Marina. I must take a look around it next time I am in Hull.
