Navigation lamp - Metal
The one shown in the photo is a portable naval lamp, most likely dating back to the mid-20th century, commonly used on military or merchant ships. It is made of sturdy metal, with a red dome for signaling and a front lens for directional lighting.
Born in an era when technology was still dominated by essential mechanical and electrical solutions, this lamp has sailed stormy seas and silent ports as an integral part of onboard equipment. It was commonly used for:
Visual signals between ships or towards land, especially before the widespread advent of radio communications.
Night work on the bridge, such as inspections, mooring maneuvers, or urgent maintenance.
Emergency situations, thanks to its red glass that allowed signals of danger to be launched, visible even from a great distance.
Made of rust-resistant metal and painted in military green, this lamp was designed to last, resisting salt spray, impacts, and weather conditions. The iron handle allowed it to be hung or carried easily, while the compact and heavy structure ensured stability.
Today, some enthusiasts of historical nautical objects collect or restore them, recognizing their historical value. Battery not included.
