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. HistoryNLV Pharos and her sister ship, {{ship|THV|Galatea||2}} (2006) were built by Stocznia Remontowa SA, Gdańsk, Poland as part of a £38 million contract. Galatea serves the same role for Trinity House on the coast of England, Wales and the Channel Islands.[5] NLV Pharos is the tenth NLB vessel to carry the name, replacing the ninth Pharos in March 2007.[3] 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). [6]Pharos was the great lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.[7] ServiceNLV Pharos is based in Oban and works mainly in Scottish and Manx waters, servicing over 200 automatic lighthouses, buoys, and beacons. She is also able to carry out hydrographic surveying and wreck finding and other commercial work under contract.[6] References1. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.irishseashipping.com/photofeatures/services/lightservices/pharos100708/pharos100708.htm| title=NLV Pharos Visits Douglas| publisher=Irish Sea Shipping| accessdate=2008-08-02}} {{commons category|Pharos (ship, 2007)|NLV Pharos}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Pharos}}2. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Ships/Pharos-9338606.html| title=Pharos| publisher=VesselTracker.com| accessdate=20 February 2010}} 3. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.nlb.org.uk/StandardPageNoToc.aspx?id=350| title=NLV Pharos| publisher=Northern Lighthouse Board| accessdate=2016-01-24}} 4. ^{{cite web| url=https://www.nlb.org.uk/InformationCentre/News/Documents/Royal-Commissioning-of-new-ship-NLV-PHAROS-in-Leith/| title=Press Release: Royal Commissioning of new ship NLV Pharos in Leith, Edinburgh| date=9 May 2007| publisher=Northern Lighthouse Board| accessdate=2016-01-24}} 5. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/news_info/press_releases/2007/thv_liggalatealig_arrives_home_port_harwich.html| title=Press Release: THV Galatea arrives in home port of Harwich| publisher=Trinity House| date=23 July 2007| accessdate=2016-01-24}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.nlb.org.uk/InformationCentre/News/Documents/Northern-Lighthouse-Board-Welcomes-New-Ship-into-Oban/ |title=Press Release: Northern Lighthouse Board Welcomes New Ship into Oban|publisher=Northern Lighthouse Board |accessdate=2016-01-24}} 7. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.cleveleys.co.uk/wonders/pharoslighthouse.htm| title=The Great Pharos Lighthouse| publisher=Seven Wonders of the Ancient World| accessdate=2008-08-02}} 3 : Ships of Scotland|2006 ships|Lighthouse tenders of the United Kingdom |
