ABOUT

Originally commissioned by Trinity House in 1939,  The Lightship is one of the last riveted steel vessels to be made in the UK, beautifully and  painstakingly constructed. The textures and features of the ship provide a unique and interesting backdrop for Fashion, TV and Film shoots.

Internally there are beautiful cabin areas while the external decks provide a authentic maritime feel. The iconic light tower standing at the centre of the vessel can  be used as a background or for shoots inside the glass lantern room.

There is also the option to shoot from the river, coming up to and around the ship and from the beach beneath at low tide.

Green room facilities are available and a Café and Diner are close by. Power is single phase and plentiful. 3 Phase power can be arranged.
