"Sie waren in der Lage besser als jede andere Branche zu essen", sagt Floyd. "Wir Essen bestellt und ein Koch bereitet es. Wir hatten eine Kombüse."

"You were able to eat better than any other branch of service, " says Floyd. "We ordered food, and a cook prepared it. We had an open galley." Some of the lightships, including #115 Frying Pan, have led remarkable lives. While docked at an oyster cannery in the Chesapeake Bay, Frying Pan was abandoned and then sunk because of a broken pipe, according to the Lightship Frying Pan Web site. The lightship stayed underwater for three years before being raised by salvors. Instead of going to the scrap yard, she was raised, resold and towed to Manhattan's Pier 63 within the new Chelsea Waterside Park. Frying Pan is now being used for parties and special events. "The owners left a lot of the encrusted interior, " says Allen, who toured the boat. "It is kinda spooky to go on it. It is used as a nightclub.". LIGHT TOWERS To save on manpower and construction and maintenance costs, the Coast Guard began replacing the lightships in the 1960s with Texas-style light towers that looked like offshore oil platforms and navigational buoys. In 1964, a light tower at Frying Pan Shoals was erected. Two years later, a similar structure was built at Diamond Shoals. The Frying Pan light tower — which was automated in 1979 — was erected at the end of the shoals so ships could pick up radio signal and avoid them. Allen, along with a crew of five, served on the Frying Pan light tower from 1977 to 78. They rotated between tower and land duty. Crewmen served four weeks on the tower and two weeks off. They rode out to the tower on a 44-foot boat from the Oak Island Coast Guard Station, or on the 82-foot Point Martin out of Wrightsville Beach. On a few occasions, a helicopter would fly them out to the tower. Pilings for the tower sank 200 feet through shell and sand to anchor it to the ocean bottom. Its legs extended from a
