Nautical Ship Anchor Lantern, Large, Converted to Electrified Lamp, Used

Description

Nautical Ship Anchor Lantern, Large, Converted to Electrified Lamp, Used
Up for auction is this vintage solid galvanized metal nautical Ship Anchor Lantern that had a light fixture installed to convert to a lamp (in my opinion, should be removed). The classic anchor lamp used on sailing ships for hundreds of years.
The anchor lamp is machined in pure heavy-gauge steel sheet. The Fresnel style lens is made to magnify the oil lamp light to be visible for 20 nautical miles. The tops to the main body and the vent top are both hinged, thus the top swings open for access and ease of cleaning. This all metal (except the frilled vent top, which is galvanized copper) is galvanized and shows its age. THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION..
The anchor lamp is named for its use.
A 360o white light is required to be displayed at the highest point
( the tallest mast) on all vessels at anchor or under way at night.
These oil burning lanterns were made to be lit and hoisted to the top of the mast with one rope tied to the handle and 2 ropes through the brass guides to keep it from swaying as the ship rolled with the sea.
They can burn for 7 up to hours before refilling.
