Lightship Frying Pan

''Frying Pan'' (LV-115) is a lightvessel moored at Pier 66a in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It served at Frying Pan Shoals, off Cape Fear in North Carolina, for over 30 years.
==Frying Pan Shoals Station==
In 1854, because of complaints from mariners that the height of the existing Bald Head Lighthouse was inadequate, and the light of its Third-order Fresnel lens wasn't bright enough to warn mariners of the shallow waters of the treacherous Frying Pan Shoals off the coast of Cape Fear in North Carolina, United States, the first lightship was stationed on the shoals,〔http://www.itpi.dpi.state.nc.us/caroclips/FRYINGPAN.html, accessed 2007-09-15〕 in lieu of a proposal to improve Bald Point Lighthouse. Lightships remained on station for 110 years.
On July 29, 1944, Lieutenant (jg) Clarence Samuels became the first Hispanic-American of African descent to command a lightship when he assumed command of the Frying Pan.〔(LT Clarence Samuels, USCG (Ret.) )〕
The Bald Point lighthouse, and others, were turned off during the Civil War to avoid aiding the Northern ships.
The ship was replaced by a lighttower in 1964.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=Qppzt4OYsdcC&pg=PA417&lpg=PA417&dq=frying+pan+lightship&source=web&ots=Mrhrezuzt0&sig=w-AnxaE8CySoXRMbV4TnPipv-gk#PPA417,M1 Naval Records〕 The lighttower, a Texas tower, was manned until 1979, is a great diving spot and still stands.
This ship, LV-115, was the last of nine ships that served in succession, with some alternation, at the Frying Pan Shoals station during and since the American Civil War.
