Abstract

A lantern holder for supporting a lantern from a conventional cleat provided on the side of a boat. The lantern holder includes a pair of arms which are pivotally connected together adjacent the inner end of the lower arm and includes a U-shaped hook portion that can be readily inserted and removed from an opening provided in the conventional cleat. A substantially horizontally extending stabilizing projection is carried adjacent the U-shaped hook portion for restraining said attachment from lateral movement. A receiver is carried adjacent the outer end of the holder for receiving the holder of a conventional lantern.
