Deutsche Bucht

The tomato red Deutsche Bucht Feuerschiff is one of the tourist attractions in Emden. The Deutsche Bucht is a retired lightvessel or lightship (Feuerschiff in German). A lightship is a ship which is used as a lighthouse in waters that are too deep or unsuitable for lighthouse construction for some other reason. For better visibility, lightships are usually painted bright red and the name of the station is displayed in white upper case letters.
