A view of the Irish Lightship ‘Comet’ at Dún Laoghaire in about 1960. The ship was built in 1904 by J. Reid in Glasgow and measured ninety-six feet in length and twenty-three feet in breadth. The light vessel was decommissioned in 1965 and sold (for £7,000) to the shipbroking firm of Turner and Hickman in Glasgow. The ship later had a colourful history as an off-shore pirate radio station used by Radio Scotland.
