List of lightvessels

Template:SHORTDESC: This article lists lightvessels around the world. Most surviving light vessels reside in the United Kingdom and the United States. Some of the lightvessels mentioned in the lists have been renamed more than once, while others have been re-stationed or captured in war. Lightvessels were also not as permanent as a building or structure which helped lead to the replacement of others.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.
