We are most interested in hearing from anyone that may have any additional updates, photos or information on any of these great Lightships.

It is impossible for us to physically visit each ship's location yearly, so we are very grateful when folks contact us with the latest news and photos on these ships.

We are always happy to hear from you.

Please contact LSA Webmaster at; webmaster@uscglightshipsailors.org1
