Spurn Head Lightship.
The River Humber is said to be one of the most difficult to navigate in the world. Lightships, lighthouses and floats were used to mark a safe passage to the Humber ports. This lightship was built in 1927 and was used at Spurn Head. In 1975 it was decommissioned when automatic lights were introduced.
The council bought it in 1983, restored it and moored it in the Marina in 1987.
It is now a floating museum.
