North Carr Lightship
The lightship, built on the Clyde in 1933, was stationed off the notorious North Carr rocks, a mile and half from Fife Ness, until 1975, a crucial part of the life saving network operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board.
In May 1976 the North Carr Lightvessel was sold to the North East Fife District Council, and in July 1976 it was used as a floating museum based in Anstruther harbour. We have seen it in Anstruther, looking in far better condition.
Since January 2002 the Lightship has been based in Victoria Dock, Dundee and was used by the Maritime Volunteer Service (MVS) as a base for Unit meetings and training. But it has now been confirmed that MVS has sold the lightship for only £1 to Taymara, a Dundee-based maritime charity who plan to restore it. The lightship looks a bit shabby at the moment, but apparently it's just surface rust. I have my doubts.

Yes, I suspect it needs much more than a sandblasting, a touch of filler and a pot f paint.
Best wishes ... Steve
Best wishes to getting this restored -- it is too important to let the elements lay claim to it.

Not far from me, there is a red Caboose -- it was restored by one individual -- she did a great job ~!
All the best

Btw. you know our restored lighthouse ships. But we also have a number of beautifully restored steam storage locomotives of the old historic harbour railway.
I hope you're well. Greets Klaus
