Trinity House lightship South Goodwin
Ark Models 40010

British company Trinity House set up the beacon vessel South Goodwin to fulfil a most important task – navigation safety in the English Channel near Dover, in the vicinity of the Goodwin Sands bank, also known as Graveyard of Ships and Sand Chameleon, damned by all sailors since times immemorial. The light of the beacon could be seen every 30 s out to 11 nm. Goodwin Sands gobbled its own lighthouse, the South Goodwin, during a violent storm on 27 November 1954.
