		The first lightvessels were converted wooden ships, whose hulls were plated with copper underneath the waterline to protect them against the action of ship´s worms and so to ensure a long service.
		However, German and Belgian lightvessels were equipped with propulsion engines, qualifying them to stand against the storm and maybe return to their original position, or even to make their way into the safety of a harbour after their chains broke.
		The last three of the Dutch lightvessels, two built in the beginning of the Fifties and the final one in 1963, were rather luxurious in comparison to their predecessors, and - according to their year of construction - equipped with the most up-to-date technology.

		Preference was given for a Lightvessel to be placed one mile due east of the rock, approximately ten and half miles from Bell Rock and seven miles from the Isle of May in which position it would do away with the need for the low light at Isle of May.
		This offer was accepted and the Lightvessel was towed from Blackwall, near London, by a tug and placed in position on 7 June 1887, on which date the light from the low tower at Isle of May was discontinued.

		The Nore lightvessel, born of an idea by a certain Robert Hamblin, a barber of Lynn, was the first navigational aid of its type in maritime history.
		In 1731, against the wishes of Trinity House, who considered the candle or oil lights to be ineffective as a guide to shipping, Avery moored the lightvessel on station.
		Trinity House obtained the patent in perpetuity, and in 1733 granted Avery a 61 year lease on the vessel at a rent of one hundred pounds.

		A beacon without sound or light, as Stevenson put it, was considered to be a rather "imperfect landmark" - although it served its purpose (at least to a degree) until the first wooden lightvessel was stationed there in 1887.
		This lightvessel had no motive power of her own, so had to be towed whenever she was required to move.
		In 1975 the Fife Ness station was built and the lightvessel was replaced by a lighted buoy.

		It was invented by Robert Stevenson, for use by an 82 ton converted fishing boat, Pharos, which was used as a lightvessel between 1807 and 1810 near to Bell Rock whilst the lighthouse was being constructed.

		But although the latter construction is but a terrible example of how a bar-owner imagines a real lightvessel, the ship's origin does go back to this noble type of ship which are now disappearing from our seas.
		Her hull had a typical lightvessel form however and the heavy construction of oak timbers (at least 24 cm thick) and the underwater hull being completely sheathed with brass plating, revealed her former seaworthiness.
		The HOLLANDS GLORIE was a former lightvessel, the DE LEEUW an ex tugboat.
