Lightship Museum, Museum ship in Esbjerg Harbor, Denmark
The Horns Rev lightship measures 33.5 meters in length and features a red hull with white horizontal and vertical stripes of the Danish flag.
Built in 1912 at Rasmus Møller shipyard, this wooden vessel served maritime navigation off Esbjerg until 1981 before moving near Møn Island until 1988.
The motor lightship preserves maritime heritage through detailed exhibitions about daily operations and crew life during its service in Danish waters.
The museum opens from May through August, Monday to Friday between 11:00 and 16:00, at the northern end of Esbjerg's Havneøen district.
This vessel holds the distinction of being the largest wooden lightship ever constructed and the oldest preserved motor lightship in the world.
