The last lightship in Scotland has been given a substantial lottery grant to prevent it from falling into dereliction. |
The underwriter also carried out a post-occurrence inclining experiment to establish the vessel's lightship characteristics. |
The lightship has had uplighters added to its fore and aft masts with lighting units added around its deck and jetty. |
A computerized model was produced and an inclining experiment was carried out to establish the vessel's lightship characteristics. |
The lightship was considerably damaged and would have to be removed from the station. |
It has the world's best-preserved wooden lightship with an exhibition showing how the crew lived and worked in those early days. |
