I found this lamp close to the Bosun,s locker on an unidentified wreck 15 miles southwest of Hook lighthouse in 220 feet. Made by RC Murray & Co. Glasgow. Sometime between 1886 and 1910 Murray,s moved from Carlton Court Bridge St. to Pollokshaws Rd. So this lamp and wreck is post 1910. when sunk. Most likely WW1.
Nice find.

Doesn't seem to be a mast light. Was it on the stern area of the wreck? Electric or kerosene?
Starboard lamp burning kerosene.
She's well broke up, with some structure at the bow and stern. Been worked on by salvage operators. The lamp was just thrown on the sand just off the wreck, a right stroke of luck. Lovely condition, glass still perfect. When conditions and vis are good I'll swim along the outside of wrecks in the debris. I found the SS Castlehill bell the same way.
