Barnegat, Maritime heritage site in Camden, United States.
The Barnegat lightship stands as a steel-hulled vessel with a characteristic red hull and white superstructure, measuring 130 feet in length.
The Barnegat lightship operated from 1904 to 1967, guiding maritime traffic along the New Jersey coast before modern navigation systems replaced floating lighthouses.
This National Register of Historic Places vessel represents maritime technological development in the United States during the early twentieth century.
Currently located at Pyne Poynt Marina, the deteriorating vessel requires extensive restoration work to preserve its historical structure for future generations.
During World War II, the Barnegat lightship changed its primary role to inspect cargo vessels entering Delaware Bay before allowing their port entry.
