This is the new offshore which will replace Buzzards bay Lightship at the southern approach to Massachusetts' Cape Cod Canal on November 1. Taken on October 27, this photo shows the station nearly completed with the exception of the laying of extra planking to withstand the landing of helicopters. The latter will be accomplished.
