Solid Copper and Brass
Look-Out Lantern
The classic
sailors Look-Out lamp used on sailing ships for
hundreds of years. Primarily used as a lantern to look
out at something close to the ship at night. The shape
is such that the solid back of the lantern would not blind
the person trying to use it.
These oil burning
lanterns could also be tied to the stern (rear) of the ship
and used as a stern marker lamp by tying one rope to the
handle and 2 ropes through the brass guides to keep it from
swaying as the ship rolled with the sea or mounted on a wall
or bulkhead as a cabin or passageway lamp.
Our Look-Out Lantern is hand machined in of pure
heavy-gauge copper with brass trim. The Fresnel style lens
is made to magnify the oil lamp light to be visible
for 20 nautical miles and burn for about 7 hours before
refilling.
