Lightship LV-118 Overfalls is a National Historic Landmark with national significance in the history of the United States. From 1820 to 1983, lightships marked treacherous areas for mariners where lighthouses could not be built. Built in 1938 for the U.S. Lighthouse Service, LV-118 is the last lightship built for that service and one of the best-preserved surviving lightships.
