The Mariner
The Mariner has been places. Its brass carries the salt of Atlantic crossings, the oxidation of decades below deck. The gimbal mount still swings — a reminder that this lantern was built to stay lit in a storm.
We found it in a Portsmouth maritime salvage yard, still functional, its wick intact. We cleaned the glass, rewired the socket, and left everything else exactly as the sea left it.
A lantern with a past. Yours to continue.
The Story Behind This Piece
Documented provenance: decommissioned from a Royal Navy auxiliary vessel in 1974. The hull number is still stamped on the base plate. We left it there.
