Solid Copper
Anchor Lantern
The classic
solid copper anchor lamp used on sailing ships for hundreds of years.
Lamp is hand machined in pure
heavy-gauge copper with brass trim. Comes with electric
light kit and oil burner. Either can be used for
lighting. The Fresnel style lens
is made to magnify the oil lamp light to be visible
for 20 nautical miles.
The anchor lamp is named
for it's 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 a 2nd rope
tied to the bottom bail to keep it from swaying as the ship
rolls with the sea.
Available in two sizes.
