lightship planet up for sale!

Heard today that the actual lightship, Planet, no. 23, moored in Liverpool, is actually up for sale. I only started work on a painting of the lightship last week, and you can view it on this blog. Apparently it's current owner has run into difficulties and as now put the ship up for sale - I believe the asking price is £139.000. To find out more, visit: www.lv23.com
