Cape Don would also transport the Keepers and their families between
postings, on holidays, and occasionally at times of medical emergencies.
The ship is set up with its own passenger cabins and sitting rooms.
However, as in Colin's case, there was no reason why they couldn't go

between lights.
Of course there were also times when the crew and
keepers could relax en route to their next destination
