When a sailor gets to thinking he's one of the best, let him out on a lightship and give him the acid test. I can't remember where I read that, but it seemed to say quite a bit. It is fun to walk through the Columbia lightship.
The Columbia lightship was replaced by an unmanned buoy. It is now anchored right next to Columbia, having been replaced by a subsequent unmanned buoy (NDBC 46029).
what did the people on a lightship actually do? my image was, a lightship was a much smaller vessel with maybe a few more crew than a standard stationary manned lighthouse, so maybe five or six... this ship clearly has far more spaces and a fairly sizable crew, why? What were their respective roles and jobs?
yes, it's next door, and you get free admission to the lightship when you buy a ticket to the museum. I also just posted a video of a walk through of the museum.

Thanks for the video. She was in service for part of my time in the CG.

While I was on CGC Iris we we towed the LNB to the museum and set the the new CR buoy.
Cool boat
Might edit title to "Columbia Lightship walkthrough"
Yea, that was my brain auto typing stuff, you are right.

This is next to the Maritime Museum, correct?
Wish I had been up to checking out this ship when I went to the museum last year in October!

This is not a lighthouse! Its a ship!
It's a lightship actually, it goes out and anchors itself at the opening of the bay and lights up like a lighthouse warning boats.
@@GrumpyWolfTravel I understand, but the title is not accurate...
