Summary
| Description |
English: Lightship RELIEF – WLV 605 is berthed at Jack London Square in Oakland.
WLV-605, one of six lightships constructed for the Coast Guard, was built by Rice Brothers Shipyard in Boothbay, Maine, in 1950. She was commissioned on 15 February 1951 as OVERFALLS, a lightship station off Delaware. In 1960 she was transferred to the BLUNTS (reef) station off Cape Mendocino, California. Finally, in 1969 she became RELIEF, relieving all west coast lightships. The ship was decommissioned by the Coast Guard in 1975 and given to the city of Olympia, Washington in 1976. Olympia was unsuccessful in making the ship a museum and sold the vessel to Mr. Alan Hosking in 1979. In 1980, it sailed from Olympia to Oakland and dry-docked. After completion of dry-docking, the ship was sailed to Half Moon Bay, where she remained anchored off Piliar Point. It was donated to the United States Lighthouse Society on 31 December 1986. In June 2002, the ship finally opened to the public at Jack London Square in Oakland. Another lighthouse for my book. www.blurb.com/b/6537099-eastern-canadian-lighthouses-and-... |
