NLV Pharos
NLV ''Pharos'' is a lighthouse tender operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB), the body responsible for the operation of lighthouses and marine navigation aids around the coasts of Scotland and the Isle of Man. ==History== NLV ''Pharos'' and her sister ship, THV ''Galatea'' (2006) were built by Stocznia Remontowa SA, Gdańsk, Poland as part of a £38 million contract. THV ''Galatea'' serves the same role for Trinity House on the coast of England, Wales and the Channel Islands. NLV ''Pharos'' is the tenth NLB vessel to carry the name, replacing the ninth ''Pharos'' in March 2007.〔 The first ''Pharos'', which operated as a lighthouse vessel from 1799 to 1810, was a simple wooden sloop 49 feet long (approx 15 metres) and 18 feet wide (approx 5½ metres).〔 〕 Pharos was the great lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Great Pharos Lighthouse )〕
