Lightship Number Eighteen.

Number 18 last saw service as a lightship in 1990.

Lightship Number 18 is currently being fitted out, moored alongside the Railway Quay at Harwich in Essex. Please do not attempt to get onto the quay. There is no public access due to works in progress. A clear view of the ship can be gained from the main harbour sea-front at Harwich.

The bulk of the work to the 'Mebo 3' will commence in May 1999 and be completed in July 1999 when she will leave Harwich for new moorings in the North Sea, off Essex.

RNI will broadcast for 28 days, commencing on the 3rd of August. Tune to 190 metres (1575 kHz), medium wave to relive the exciting days of Radio Northsea International!
