Light Vessel Weser, Historical lightvessel in Wilhelmshaven, Germany

The Light Vessel Weser measures 52.5 meters in length and 7.8 meters in width, with a draft of 3.81 meters and red exterior paint.

Built between 1906 and 1907 by AG Weser in Bremen, this vessel operated until 1981 when it was replaced by a large navigation buoy.

The vessel transitioned from its maritime role to become a restaurant and museum ship at Bontekai in 1983, showcasing maritime heritage.

The vessel underwent substantial modifications in 1952, replacing its steam engine with a diesel engine and updating its lighting from gas to electric systems.

The ship features a 300-millimeter barrel lens with rotating diaphragm and compensating pendulum for precise navigation signaling.
