While mooching around the Kettering Steam Rally, I found a sorry looking ship's lantern. on my third visit to the stall, I cracked, coughed up £20.

| After an initial clean. |
|
 |
| As I cleaned, it became obvious that the lamp was not made of tin, but copper with brass fittings. |
 |
| The copper and brass start to shine through. |
 |
| I fixed a temporary bracket to get an idea of how the lantern would look in place. |
The plan is to put a soft LED light inside it, so that in tunnels it will light the stern of Freyja without blinding me or casting a distracting shadow. Then by switching on the workshop lights, the workshop skylight will illumunate the tunnel ceiling.
