River Lightship man

[jksdelver]

William Reid  (1864 Wexford- 1920 Hoboken New Jersey)  was shown to be a River Lightship man at the birth of his daughter in 1909 in Liverpool.

Soooo anyone have any information in which ‘Lightship’ he could have been attached to? I am presuming that he was attached to one out of Liverpool as he was living there I can’t find him at the moment on a crew list if there would be any for a Lightship

Thank you Mike it’s a good bet he was on one  of those. I would think that only for a short while as he was also in the merchant service. But later in the Army in   Gallipoli during WW1

I’ve just noticed they came under trinity house so may not be merchant seamen as such
