The Last Hurrah of LV78 THE CALSHOT LIGHTSHIP - Solent Sky Museum - Southampton
The 170-tonne Calshot Spit was retired in the mid-1960s and has been positioned within the port for the past nine years.
It was taken through city streets to the Solent Sky Museum where its restoration will be completed.
Museum curator Alan Jones said it was part of Southampton's history.
The bright red ship, which was known as Light Vessel 78 (LV78), was built in 1914 and is a rare surviving example of a riveted iron-plated ship.
It was originally moored at Calshot Spit, where it acted as a floating lighthouse at the entrance to Southampton Water, guiding flying boats into their terminals and warning ships of sandbanks.
Six crew lived in cramped conditions keeping the light and foghorn operating and recording shipping movements. It was replaced by a buoy in the mid-1960s.
The ship was later placed at the entrance to the Ocean Village development before being moved to Southampton Docks for a planned transport museum, but the plans were dropped in 2012.
The operation to move the lightship has been supported by Associated British Ports and saw it travel three-quarters of a mile (1.2km) out of the docks and along Canute Road to the museum on self-propelling rollers.
The move was completed in about 45 minutes, with Sam Smith of specialist contractors ALE saying it had gone very well.
Every lift has its unique challenges but with this one being so old and its industrial heritage, it was very challenging, he said.
Mr Jones described its condition as solid as a rock, although a full restoration could cost up to £70,000.
This really is Southampton's lightship - she was built on the banks of the Itchen, she saw the great liners in, she was a turning point for the flying boats - it's marvellous to keep her.
It will sit outside the museum while restoration work is carried out and a planned walkway will connect it to the museum's cafe. It is hoped to be open to the public sometime in 2020.
The museum is also trying to trace any crew members, or their relatives, who served on the ship which was operated by Trinity House.

knowledgeable guides when required. We found a remarkable number of
interestinfg exhibits closely packed together. Definately well worth a

Solent Sky Museum Seeking Stories Recalling World War Two
It's been announced that a Spitfire will be flying from Southampton airport to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the first test flight of that historic aircraft. Initially there had been widespread disappointment that the re-enactment of that first flight wouldn't be going ahead, so the Solent Sky Museum made plans of their own to celebrate that 80th anniversary. They'll be holding a reception in the museum on Saturday 5th of March. And they're calling for your Second World War stories to be re-told, so the memories can be recorded for prosterity. Plus hear about some artefacts currently held in their archive

The Last Flight of a Sunderland Flying Boat at Calshot near Southampton, July 1993
Near the water in Southampton, England stands the Solent Sky museum. Dedicated to flying boats and other aircraft built in the Southampton and Solent area, like the Supermarine Spitfire and the razor-thin Supermarine S.6 seaplane racer, it's a unique slice of aviation/nautical history. The highlight, a Short Sandringham (the civilian version of the military Short Sunderland), is a step back in time to a golden age of flying boats -- fixed-wing seaplanes with a hull, allowing them to land on water. The Short Sandringham Beachcomber on display here is an amazing example, and one of the few antique planes you can explore top to bottom.
