Coincidental choice of image you chose to accompany this piece!
This is the Lightship Albatross that I wrote about on Wednesday on my Irish Lighthouses blog. Sitting in Pigeon House Harbour for ten years, on Wednesday I went down to photo it, only to find it had sailed to London last Sunday!
(Sorry, you can take the man out of the anorak...)
And I was just stopping by to say how much I like Hull.
Peter has an Irish Lighthouses blog...?
You have an Irish Lighthouses bloG?
Hull? Is that a lightship pun?
Sadly, no.
I don't have an Irish Lighthouses blog.
