List of lightvessels

This article lists lightvessels around the world. Most surviving light vessels reside in the United Kingdom, and the United States; these are split out separately. Some of the lightvessels mentioned in the lists have been renamed more than once, while others have been re-stationed or captured in war. Lightvessels were also not as permanent as a building or structure which helped lead to the replacement of others.
