I happened to notice a recent(?) book on lightships in a shop this morning. I think it was called No Port In A Storm but going from memory Martin

Not sure what part of the country you are looking but don't forget that Trinity House do not cover Scotland. There is the Northern Lighthouse Board up here. Martin

Hi Peter thanks for that, Had a look and the records have been destroyed in 1940 bombing so will have to find other sources, but thank you anyway Janet.

Hi Janet, I think your best bet is to type lightships into google or Ask Jeeves to see what comes up, we have an old lightship near us the Inner Dowsing moored in the Hoo Marina that has been turned into a restaurant. Happy hunting Belle.
