Abstract
Description
Lightships were typically painted red with their station�s name emblazoned in large, white block letters on both of her sides. LV 107/WAL 529 still complies with this standard. Its current markings �LIBERTY LANDING MARINA� do accurately describe its latest location, though the marina was obviously never an official lightship station.
After LV 107 was decommissioned in 1968, it was relocated to Hampton, Virginia to be used as a museum. This venture must not have lasted too long, as by 1984 the lightship was at North American Metals ship-breakers yard in Bordentown, New Jersey. Fortunately, the lightship was rescued by its present owners and relocated to Liberty Landing Marina, where it has operated as Lightship Bar and Grill, a yacht sales office, and a sailing school.
