'North Carr' Lightship

'North Carr' Lightship
North Carr is the last remaining Scottish lightship. She is 101 feet (31 m) in length, 25 feet (7.6 m) in beam and 268 tons. The purpose of the vessel was to warn mariners by sight, light or sound of the dangers of the North Carr rocks which are situated 1.7 miles off Fife Ness at the turning point for vessels sailing between the Forth and the Tay. The North Carr is currently berthed in the Victoria Dock, Dundee, awaiting restoration as an exhibition space. Quoted from Wikipedia.

Some organisation or other is supposed to be doing up the North Carr lightship. It doesn't look any different from this time last year.

Yes, Amelia, I heard the North Carr is going to become an exhibition space, when Taymara (Tay Maritime Action) raises sufficient funds. Cheers, Joe

Excellent capture Joe she still looks impressive even against modern buildings and that Foghorn must have resonated throughout the ship,
I do hope she is restored it's an important piece of maritime history.

She used to be in quite good condition when she was moored at Anstruther, Roger. I hope funds become available so she can be restored. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe

A beautifully composed shot. Lovely to see the lightship. Dundee seems to be becoming a haven for historical ships.
