We did get to see the lightship. The building that is under construction is going to be a hotel. There may be hope then if you get a good room with a view you could take a really nice shot of the lightship. It is sad that it is sitting in concrete. My son decided that the Lightship Huron was better as it was in water and you could go up on deck. No chance of getting a picture from the apartments or the attached garage area as security was patrolling it diligently and will not let you trespass for "picture-taking" purposes. We did have a great time though and visited all of the Outer Banks lights again. The directions were really great, and without them we probably would never have found the lightship. Thanks again!
