Spurn Lightship Spurn Lightship No Data

Description


Built in 1929 to help protect the notoriously treacherous approaches to the Humber the lightship was eventually decommissioned in the late 1970's and brought to Hull's Marina where it has been restored to how it would have been when it was out in the Humber estuary. You can experience the cramped conditions that the crew had to suffer for a month at a time. There are also some small exhibits on how lightships worked
