If you peer across to the River Neath from the M4 at Llandarcy, you might spot LV72 Juno.
Though she is now rusty and leaning to one side, in her heyday Juno was a lightship - a ship which acts as a lighthouse - which guided Allied troops and equipment to makeshift harbours in France in the crucial days that followed D-Day.
Amateur historian Lyndon Pritchard said as a child he would pass the ship, moored at Neath Abbey Wharf, and never paid it much attention.
But now, aged 57, Mr Pritchard is a lightvessel enthusiast who has dedicated many hours to researching the ship's important wartime role.
