I don't know this but I will check with Harry. I think these were done to fit to together to resent what a lighthouse tender would look like at it's job at a lighthouse. I don't think he meant that the Narcissus actually serviced the Stratford Shoal Lighthouse.

Maybe that need to rewrite their copy which says "Imagine the excitement when the Lighthouse Tender Narcissus" and change it to when a 'Lighthouse Tender such as the Narcissus would visit the Stratford Shoal Light. That would make it more accurate.

I just know that displaying them together sure helps on space in my cabinet and it looks really good with them together. It will also be a great conversation piece when I have non-collecting friends over to the house (yes I do have non-collecting friends).


Onward to The Land of the Midnight Sun!
