[1] She entered service in 1939 with Trinity House, the body responsible for operating maritime navigation aids in England and Wales.

[1] Light Vessel 93 first served as a marker on the Galloper sand bank in the North Sea, off Suffolk.

From 1947 to 1953 she was positioned on the River Thames and used to monitor for naval mines, a legacy of the Second World War.

Turriani also fitted stained glass to the former light tower, which sits 45 feet (14 m) above water level.

It operated as a studio from the Royal Victoria Dock in London and has been used to photograph the Arctic Monkeys, Mumford and Sons, Andrew Garfield, Daniel Radcliffe, Jessie J, Billie Piper, and Dermot O'Leary.
