Lightship 2000 (Welsh: Goleulong 2000) is a restored old red Lightvessel with a cafe and chapel on board situated in Cardiff Bay. During the redevelopment of Cardiff Bay, the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation called together the churches in Cardiff to discuss the role of Christianity in the Bay. Lightship 2000 is the result of these discussions
The ship was launched in 1953 and from that year until 1989 it was a
working lightvessel in a number of locations around the UK, ending its
working life at Rhossili on the Gower Peninsula to warn of the Helwick Swatch, a treacherous sandbank. It was purchased in 1993 and refurbished as a floating Christian centre.
