Lighthouse Tender Narcissus

Commissioned in 1939, the Lighthouse Tender Narcissus was built at a cost of $220,000. Compared to previously built tenders, improvements were made for seaworthiness, derrick capacity, the buoy deck size and more power for propulsion and maneuverablity. This special replica is a companion piece to the Harbour Lights Limited Edition #42386 Stratford Shoal Light, CT (see below). Both replicas are designed to fit together at the base. Stratford Shoal Light, located in Long Island Sound, was isolated and frequently under siege by strong winds, not an easy place for a Keeper to live. Imagine the excitement when a lighthouse tender would bring mail, newspapers and supplies to the isolated outpost! Inland buoy tenders such as the Narcissus, a member of the 122-foot WAGL Zinnia Class Tenders, typically were instrumental in servicing lighthouses such as Stratford Shoal.
