North Carr Light ship
Maybe of interest to some.
Scotland’s last lightship, and one of the final surviving examples of the unique and critical part of navigation safety, is in critical condition and likely to be dismantled starting in 2024. The charitable organization that controls the vessel known as North Carr, reports it determined given the state of the vessel, there is no alternative except to scrap the ship.

Maybe they could send it to Fergusons for a refurb. Liverpool did noting to save the Bar Light vessel so it is not just scousers then.
