Lightship for Sale

You say you like boats? And Lighthouses? Why not have both?

Sula is currently housing a Centre for Complimentary Healthcare and offers various treatments. It also houses the Gloucester Buddhist Centre and offers accommodation for the owners.

Unfortunately, I don't think you could get very far up the canal with those masts.


Sula is 107' long, 26' wide and has a draft of 11'.

 • One of the very rare lightships with a Fresnel lens system in the light-tower. (very common for light-houses, not for light-ships)

• The foghorn design is only used on 2 ships worldwide

• The life-boat: one of the first fibre-glass life-boats ever built.

Built in 1958 in Beverley near Hull for the Humber Conservancy Board. There are 4 bedrooms, almost completely intact with teak bunkbeds, desks and seating. The main bedroom was created from 2 original cabins and can easily accommodate a large double-bed. All bedrooms have a variety of storage cabinets and have traditionally looking CH radiators installed. Bedroom-1 has got a telephone and TV connection. Click through for some great onboard pics.
