North Carr Lightship

North Carr Lightship
The North Carr is believed to be the last remaining Scottish lightship. In 1975 the lightvessel was replaced by an east cardinal buoy and decommissioned. After decommissioning, the vessel served as a floating museum in Anstruther then relocated to Victoria Dock under the ownership of the Taymara (Tay Maritime Action) charity. . It looked rather fine in Anstruther, but unfortunately Taymara were unable to raise sufficient funds for its restoration and the vessel is now destined to be dismantled and scrapped. Such a pity.

Dundee has spent a lot of money on the riverside improvements, and I do feel that some of the money spent should have been used to preserve this lightship.

Very nicely captured and definitely in urgent need of preservation before it is too late!

An interesting image and, as your notes indicate, a very disappointing likely outcome for this historic ship, Amelia.

The lightship caught my eye in thumbnail Amelia. She is a beauty and it is really sad to see her in this condition. If they let her go all that history goes with her. I really hope someone comes up with the funds to restore her. It doesn't have to cost a fortune - there must be enthusiasts out there willing to donate their time and efforts to restoring her to her former glory. I really hope so. It should be preserved for future generations.

Best wishes Carol
