Marine Oil Lamps: A Traditional Look History of Marine Oil Lamps
For centuries, oil lamps were the mainstay of all nautical lighting. Because of the way the fuel for the lamp was held in an enclosed container, oil lamps were impervious to the rolling and pitching of ships at sea. Many different types of oil lamps were designed, and many could function even out in the midst of a storm at sea, unaffected by the wind and rain. This made oil lamps ideal for use as anchor lights and navigation lights.
Inside the ships, marine oil lamps could be suspended from the cabin top or affixed to the bulkheads on gimbaled mounts which allowed for a consistent light below decks on even the roughest of passages.

I purchased an Antique Brass Anchor Lantern and was extremely pleased with my purchase. The lantern itself is in prestigious condition, and exactly as described. Unfortunately the glass was damaged during shipping, despite being well-packaged. I immediately notified Neoskay and within 24 hours, they had a replacement glass shipped out with tracking. Their quick response and excellent customer service turn a small issue into a positive experience. I highly recommend Neoskay's outstanding service!
