Fodor's Expert Review Lightship Overfalls
Lewes
Nautical Site/Lighthouse
In coastal areas unsuitable for lighthouse construction, lightships like this one were floating beacons that helped vessels find their way. The Overfalls, built in 1938, is one the 17 remaining lightships out of 179 built between 1820 and 1952. See the ship’s inner workings, crew quarters, the galley, and the top deck.
