dc.descriptionThe lightship was built by Bath Iron Works of Bath, Maine in 1923, and its first station was Cape Lookout Shoals, North Carolina, where it served from 1924 to 1933, when the station was discontinued and replaced with the Cape Lookout Bell Buoy. The lightship�s next assignment was at Winter Quarter Shoal, Virginia, located several miles offshore from Assateague Island. In 1942, LV 107 was pulled from its station and used as an examination vessel during the remainder of World War II. The lightship returned to Winter Quarter Shoal following the war and remained there through 1960 when it was replaced by a lighted bell buoy. LV 107�s next station was at the newly created Delaware station, southeast of the entrance to Delaware Bay and seventeen miles from Fenwick Island Lighthouse. The lightship served at this station for five years, before being assigned as a relief lightship out of Cape May in 1965. Gary Day was Commanding Officer of the lightship from 1967 until her decommissioning in 1968.
