Boon Island, Maine

Just curious! Does anyone have any idea about wether or not this light will include buildings? That picture on page 3 of the Legacy is one great tease! I like what I see, but am very curious about what lies below that tower. I'm sure someone out there must know. Maybe they might share it with us. And then again . . .

Bert, if not before, we should find out in about five weeks!

Looking forward to seeing it in Chicago!

Bert, I'm guessing it will include an out-building. Everything HL has produced this year has a large foot-print so I'm expecting the trend to continue with Boon.

Many HL's have included keepers houses that are no longer present. Can't think why they wouldn't include the buildings in this model. They've only been gone since being battered by several storms in the 1970's. And seeing it's the contest winner's choice I'm sure he wanted them included. I sure wouldn't pick this one if they couldn't have made them.

The cover picture and featured story (written by Wayne Wheeler) of the Spring 2002 The Keepers Log from the United States Lighthouse Society is of Boon Island Lighthouse... there is also a poem called The Watch of Boon Island on the inside back cover and another nice picture on the back cover of the Quarterly..
