Lightship Ambrose
Lightship ''Ambrose'' was the name given to multiple lightships that served as the sentinel beacon marking Ambrose Channel, New York Harbor's main shipping channel.
The first lightstation was established south of the Ambrose Channel off of Sandy Hook, NJ in 1823. From 1823 through 1967, several ships served the Ambrose Channel station; each was referred to as Lightship ''Ambrose'' and bore the station's name being painted on its side. In 1906, the lighship serving this station was relocated closer to the center of the Ambrose Channel.〔http://www.uscg.mil/history/articles/h_NEcoast.asp〕 On 24 August 1967, the Ambrose station lightship was replaced by a Texas Tower, the Ambrose Light.
== United States Lightship LV-16 (''Sandy Hook'') ==
A sail-schooner built of white oak with copper and brass fastenings, ''Sandy Hook'' marked the south edge of the Ambrose Channel for 37 years, from 1854 to 1891. She was assigned the number 16 in 1862, prior to which she was known simply as the ''Sandy Hook''. ''Sandy Hook'' was equipped with 2 lanterns, each with 8 oil lamps and reflectors, as well as a hand rung bell for a fog warning. A Thiers automatic bilge pump, ventilator, and fog signal were installed in 1872; however, the fog signal was found to be "unsatisfactory" and was removed.〔http://www.uscg.mil/history/weblightships/LV16.asp〕
Two collisions were recorded during her time in service, the first in 1874 with the steamer ''Charleston'', and the second in 1888 with the British barque ''Star of the East''.
