Served first around the mouth of the Humber on the east coast, but spent the last six years service off the Helwick sand bank off Mumbles Head, south-west of Swansea. A crew of seven, master and six crew, maintained the light. There was no on-board propulsion and the ship was towed into place. Diesel generators powered the electric light and the pneumatic fog horn. Retired in 1977 and acquired for preservation.
