The Mooring Lighter of the South African Navy in Simon's Town, also known as Yard Craft 221 is the oldest vessel afloat in South African waters and probably the oldest non-passenger carrying vessel in the world still performing the function that she was designed for.  Lighter No 14 was officially launched for service with the King's Harbour Master's Department in Simon's Town on 19 February 1902.  The lighter was used in the harbour and surrounding area to lift and lay moorings and salvage lighters and other small craft which had sunk for various reasons.  Moorring Lighter No 14 became Yard Craft 221 and served throughout the two world wars, during which she provided safe moorings for many famous ships.  The SA Navy will decommission the vessel in 2015 and the intention is to place the Mooring Lighter ashore as an exhibit of the SA Naval Museum.
