Find out what lightship are and why they are sometimes used instead of lighthouses
Answers
A light ship is a vessel that operates basically as a surrogate lighthouse tower to assist ships in navigation. Although lightships still exist contemporarily, their viability was huger in those times when marine construction and architecture wasn’t as developed and advanced, as it is today.
Lightships were put into operation in those oceanic areas where the weather and climatic conditions were volatile and actual structuring of lighthouse towers were exceedingly arduous.
Lighthouses symbolize the way forward and help in navigating our way through rough waters whether those waters be financial, personal, business or spiritual in nature. Nothing else speaks of safety and security in the face of adversity and challenge quite the way a lighthouse does.
