I love the lightships! There are few left, but, what a cool history they have, yes? How lucky to have one right there in the harbor and I have seen the one in Boston, down in their harbor. Yes! Another great reason to go to Boston! In the spring, when it is warm and beautiful! They have such amazing beauty there with all the flowers and bulbs.
Oh, you may even see me there in the Commons.
I loved your post, the write-up is always spot on and informational and I always learn a little something. Another great reason to visit! Here is the lightship down here! Twins! She (Yes, they are she's!) is named The Chesapeake and lives in Baltimore Harbor, right outside of the Baltimore Aquarium. (I wrote Boston and had to fix it)
