>>1868581I'd get a camping lantern
the type with a mantle that runs off butane cartridges.
Nice old ones are basically free in junk stores or from boomers garages.
and attach a copper pipe or some other pole to hoist it up high.
It's not 'period correct', it's 80s/90s, but the light they emmit is bright and has a wonderful tone and it flickers.
Will give that real ferryman vibe.
