Lightships are uniquely Danish--floating lights placed at sea where fixed lights cannot penetrate. Since the 2nd World War, technological developments have rendered them obsolete, but they have a fascinating history. This book is the most comprehensive on the subject, with information about the ships’ construction, life on board, the seamen who sailed them, and the potential tragedies the lightships have prevented.
