Found on the wreck site in the 1960s this nautical or miners lamp still has its glass intact and still retains its wax wick but is missing its lid. There are remains of Keel Worm tubes on the front. The museum doesn’t know any more about this lantern but would love to learn about it, maybe someone could help?
