Pre-google apps and sat-nav. OK there are still tug boats to guide ships through the harbours and up rivers but not like this early version of a lightship. The first ships were of wooden construction, but after 1936 they were all steel.
Lightship 93 was built in 1938 and currently is berthed at the Royal Victoria Docks. More on the history of the area tomorrow.
