How about some equal time for the floating lighthouses.

Lightship Overfalls (LV-118) was the last light-vessel constructed for the United States Lighthouse Service in 1938 before the Service became part of the United States Coast Guard. She was retired from service in 1972 and is now on permanent display in Lewes, DE.

Bean Rock Lighthouse, Auckland, this old girl was built in 1870. Crazy place to live for the bloke who ran it.

My favorite CA lighthouse at Point Arena in Mendocino County. Sits just north of the "bowling ball beach" that has some pretty strange rock formations (bonus pic attached!)

Every time I see a lighthouse... I always think of this wee song passed down Father to young Sons. Started off by my Great Grandfather, who was the Captain on the Nore Lightship (Trinity House LV86), now moored and displayed at St Katharine Docks, London. I actually believe now (in 1996), that she was sold into private ownership.

"I'm a Lighthouse Keeper and it gives me great delight,
To see that the Lighthouse light shines bright,
And for every night the light shines bright,
It was me that made the light shine bright"

Sorry... just a wee bit of child hood memories.

P.S. I've just located my Great Grandfathers picture from back in the day, so added it on to this post.
