Solid Brass Chief Lantern – 15”

The classic maritime ship’s lantern used on sailing ships for hundreds of years. Our Chief Lantern is hand machined in heavy-gauge brass. The glass paned are protected by a cage of heavy brass bars and opens from the front. This makes changing the light bulb – OR – lighting the oil burner easier and safer than many top opening lanterns.

The Chief Lantern would often be used in place of the more popular “Cargo Lamp” in many areas of a ship. Often used as a cabin lantern or as a source of light on deck. Anywhere a dependable wind-proof lantern was needed. Generally a well constructed brass or copper lantern that would burn oil or kerosene for many hours before needing to be refilled, whale oil being the fuel of preference. (We will not supply you with whale oil).

Our Chief Lantern is a very high quality replica of the bygone era and will add the charm and nostalgia of the era of tall ships and high seas adventure to any nautical or home setting.

Available in either oil burning or factory installed electric light, both at the same price.

Please specify preference when ordering.
