Gull Stream (ship, 1860), Lightship No. 38.
She was built in 1860 and served on a number of stations including Lyn Well at the Wash.
She served as Gull Stream on the Goodwin sands, 1929 to 1930. After a collision in which she sank, and in which the Master perished, she was refloated and renamed 'Brake' and s placed at Brake Sand on the Goodwin Sands.
After another collision in 1940 at Brake Sand she was removed, repaired, and sent to Mouse Station in the mouth of the river Thames and renamed 'Mouse'. She was attacked by enemy air fire in 1941 and then withdrawn to spend the remainder of the war laid up.
Grays Yacht Club bought her to use as a club house. She was transferred and given a berth at Grays, Thurrock on the Thames. She remained as a club house until the 1970s when a permanent club house was built and she became redundant. Since then she has lain unused at the side of the River Thames till at least 2007.
