About Vineyard Lightship
The Vineyard was a Steel Lightship built in Baltimore, 1901. She also sailed under the names, Pollack Rip Shoal, Pollack Rip Slue and Pollack Rip before she was named The Vineyard Lightship. In September 1944 she sailed into a severe hurricane, which caused her to founder and eventually sink. She took her crew with her. This vessel was only discovered in 1963. Today she is home to a large variety of marine life and has beautiful corals. Here you will find many artifacts.
