LOTD: Lightship Vastra Banken

(from https://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/grd.htm)

Swedish Lightship 23 Västra Banken

1901 (Bergsunds Mekaniska Verkstad, Stockholm). Decommissioned 1970. 28 m (89 ft) steel lightship. The original superstructure of the ship was removed and is on display at a museum in Öregrund, Sweden; the ship now carries a modern superstructure and the light tower taken from lightship 21 Trelleborgs Redd. The light tower is placed near the stern; the original was amidships. Hull painted red, superstructure white, lantern blue. A 2007 photo taken at the ship's new home in Grenada is available, Steve Brett has a closeup, Lightphotos.net has a photo, and Google has a satellite view. From 1923 to 1970 the lightship served on the Västra Banken station in the Baltic Sea off Gävle, Sweden, north of Stockholm. After deactivation, the lightship was sold as a restaurant. In 1999 it was sold again and moved to Stockholm as a houseboat. In November 2005 it was sold a third time, to developers of a marina and resort in Grenada. The ship was towed to Rostock, Germany, to be restored and re-equipped. It was then loaded on the MV Schippersgracht and carried to the West Indies, arriving at the new marina in December 2006. The ship was opened as a restaurant and conference center in June 2007. Located at Le Phare Bleu Marina on the south coast of Grenada, 5.5 km (3.5 mi) southeast of St. George's. Site open; ship open daily. Owner/site manager: Le Phare Bleu Marina and Resort. Formerly ARLHS SWE-256.
