The last lightship in Scotland has been given a substantial lottery grant to prevent it from falling into dereliction. |
Ambrose, built in 1952-53, is the only lightship equipped with a modern catoptric type lens. |
It has the world's best-preserved wooden lightship with an exhibition showing how the crew lived and worked in those early days. |
Like the lightship, the wreck rests in around 34m of water so it's another deep, dark dive. |
The lightship has had uplighters added to its fore and aft masts with lighting units added around its deck and jetty. |
The lightship was considerably damaged and would have to be removed from the station. |
