- Ship Lights -
These navigation lamps, lanterns and running lights were actually used on board ships.  Navigation lights indicate the size of the vessel, which direction it is travelling and whether it is underway or at anchor. Once retired,
a vessel is "scrapped" and all the steel, hardware and various components end up
in ship breaking yards where we acquire them.


We carry salvaged navigation lights and lanterns made of galvanized steel, brass, copper and aluminum metals. 
In recent years copper and brass lanterns have become very hard to source as more modern ship builders
opt for less expensive material options including fiberglass or plastics.

Items that are available will read "available" under the photo; otherwise it has been sold.  Sold pieces may remain pictured to show the wide range of lighting types that exist,
that we have carried, and that we continue to try to find and salvage.

Order over the phone Thurs.-Sun.; prices listed do not include shipping and are subject to change;
see the FAQ section on the homepage for shipping info.  No returns or exchanges on any items shipped.


*Lighting does not come wired; always have a licensed electrician inspect and approve all sockets, hardware, etc prior to use; all salvaged lights are sold in the condition we receive them.

Ship Lights (electric):
Originally used on ships, bulkhead, passageway and running lights ran off electricity - normally AC but occasionally DC - and were hard wired into the ship's electrical system. 
When salvaged, wires are cut at the base and removed from the ship. 
Our salvaged lighting does not come wired (unless otherwise specified) and we always recommend having a licensed electrician
inspect and approve any sockets, wiring, etc prior to use.
