This lightship was built in 1949 for Trinity House in England. It served at the Kentish Knock station (1949-53), the Sunk station (1956-59), the Dudgeon station (1959-62), the Outer Gabbard station (1962-65), and the Tongue station (1965-75). It was sold into private ownership in 1991. Radio Waddenzee bought it in 2005. It is used by Radio Waddenzee and Radio Seagull, and also by the Maritime Academy and the Sea Cadets.
