History
The LV 72 Lightship was built in 1903 by John Crown & Sons of Sunderland for Trinity House. Her hull is made of iron and, during World War 2, she was involved in the D Day landings. She was the Lightship that helped to save the lives of thousands of allied troops during the D-Day landings. She was sold out of service in 1973 to Steel Supply Co., Neath for scrapping. When sold she was the oldest vessel in the Trinity House fleet. She was later considered for conversion to a floating night club but the project did not go ahead. She is now on a mud berth on the River Neath in poor condition.

Going visit her soon live close to neath 🏴😄👍
She should be saved from being scrap that is history got to preserve her 🏴👍😄
She's deteriorating rapidly and it's a shame. No-one seems to be interested in restoring her unfortunately
The Normandy landings 6 June 1944 she did her bit 👍😄🏴
Minesweeper or spotter I think she was
Great work! Very interesting and sad find!
Thankyou
Its great
I live a few miles away apartlty when it was parked up in the 70s it was still in working order. There is another one in swansea marina that was also running when it was parked up. I remember going on it in the 80s as a kid it was an attraction. Now it is sitting there going the same way as that one
That's cool, have you been since then, such a shame they've been left to deteriorate, thanks for watching 👍👍

HOJA DE SERVICIO (Resumen):
1903-1944 Paso por varias Estaciones.
1944 Durante los desembarcos de Normandía de 1944, dos Barcos Faros de Trinity House lightships.
Uno el LV 72 con el nombre JUNO y otra llamada KANSAS, marcaron un camino a través de un campo de minas en el Día D
1945-1949 Estación de Le Havre (Francia)
1950-1971 Volvio al Reino Unido y paso por varias Estaciones.
1972 FUERA DE SERVICIO
1972 Remolcado a Briton Ferry cerca Swansea.
1973 Desmantelado y vendido a Steel Supply Co. que en realidad quería desechar el barco. Más tarde surgió la idea de usarlo como un club nocturno, pero los planes fracasaron.
1974-2018 Hoy está amarrado en el Neath Abbey Wharf cerca de Swansea y se lo dejó solo.
Desafortunadamente el casco está en muy malas condiciones y absorbe agua con cada inundación. Este barco de hierro es un ejemplo especialmente importante de su tipo, originalmente iluminado por aceite y luego convertido a luz eléctrica. Como solo la luz se electrificó y no el mecanismo giratorio, ella conserva ejemplos únicos de equipos de buques petroleros y eléctricos.
¿No hay nadie a quien le gustaría cuidar este barco?
ESTE SI PODRIA SER UN VERDADERO BARCO MUSEO, ILUMINO EL DESEMBARCO EN NORMADIA y todo gracias a 10 MARINEROS CIVILES que trabajaron en el faro.
y ahi esta ABANDONADO.
Javier Minaglia thankyou for the extended history that you have given on this ship. 👍👌
