Lightship off Cowes

[C2 RIBS]

Anyone know why this is anchored off Cowes and what the history might be?

[jezza2011]

well could be this one:

Trinity House lightvessel No. 22 - LV22 - lv 22

quick google on it and looks like the same ship

[C2 RIBS]

Not sure no names attached, and the web states"The lightvessel is still in the Trinity House fleet at St. Gowan station " It is on a trinity Buoy mooring which you would expect

[jezza2011]

refit?

there is a number 22 on it though!

I don't know why it's there but I shot some video of it for the record LIGHTSHIP! - YouTube

It replaced the channel LV following a collision earlier in the year

I went alongside the carrier, I survived and didnt even get shot at!!!

Off-topic, but that's this all about?

Some of your "good 'ole boys" parked a bloody great aircraft carrier in the Solent a few months back. I think someone pointed out that we are the good guys & not to shoot us......... for a change, as it's impolite to fire on the natives, especially in their own backyard.
