Fairweather (lighthouse vessel)

Fairweather is a specialized lighthouse support vessel designed for harsh maritime environments, particularly in challenging weather conditions near remote or rugged coastlines. It provides essential services such as transporting personnel, supplies, and equipment to lighthouse sites, performing maintenance, and ensuring safety.
