Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 12/15/09 10:00 PM

I will start a new game which will give a view of a lighthouse that may be different or partial.
After awhile if the original view can be updated to reveal a closer or larger part of the lighthouse. You should be able to id the lighthouse with any photo with a little investigation. So give me a minute to post the first digital.

If you are correct, you have the option of posting the next Mystery LH. If you don't have one right now let me know. I have a few to start.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 12/16/09 07:20 PM

This is what I can see so far in the picture, though still no idea which lighthouse.

U.S. light (obviously)
3 - 6 order light (shape of lantern)
Ground comes up behind it so its on shore

I can't tell if thats a fresnel in there or not.

I think you are right Laura.

I believe it is Chatham, MA

Compare (Mystery LH #1-3) with the picture on Lighthouse Friends. Even the chimney tops on the Keepers Quarters line up just right.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 12/16/09 09:15 PM

I was going from photos 1 and 2, but I see what you mean Stephanie. When I looked at aerial photos in Marinas I couldn't see the stair down to the beach, however when I look at a satellite photo I can see a stair with a landing. Still not sure though. When I saw the porthole windows, I thought of Montara, knew it wasn't that one, but I knew it came from Mass. so I went there. Fun search! Really like the way you are giving us a little more and a little more...

Okay, I will go with Chatham.

It's was technically built by one country but is controlled by another country, on an area controlled by two countries.

Posted By: rscroope

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 12/22/09 11:21 PM

Not Alaska.
I guess I misled you a little. It's on an island claimed by both Canada and US. When I was there the research team that was studying the birdlife on the Island and taking care of the lighthouse was USA.
So John is in the ballpark as Eric stated.

PS Eric your Christmas card is hysterical and so you!

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 12/23/09 03:49 PM

Bob, looking back I can see that you did not say it was not Canadian.

Posted By: rscroope

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 12/23/09 06:56 PM

I was at this lighthouse in 2001. We went by boat and then had to take a smaller boat to the rocky shore and climb about 100 yards over the wet rocky shelf to get to the edge of the island.
We got to observe the Puffins as well as climb the lighthouse. Because of the rough seas only 4 of the 15 of us actually got to go on the island. I guess it was precariosus enough that no complained although disappointed. This was my first lh adventure with Merle Wiggins.

I'm aware of you guys checking my trips! lol

BUT I've been on many trips.

Make sure when you post you lighthouse pic that you don't leave the lighthouse name in the downloaded name. It can be seen on the image tag.

Glad you're having fun. I thought of this while taking photos on my last trip but found when reorganising my pics that I always took shots of interesting views and unique features that would work. And I'm sure you all did too!

"And the 3rd Order fresnel lens in the honeycomb lantern room." A Must see at night! One of the most impressive lights I've ever seen.

After diner we took a night run to Point Cabrillo.

Eric was in the group I was in when I took that picture. That's why I said wrong state with the raspberry smiley. So he got the light, even though he struck out on the state.

Posted By: wvlights0

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 01/12/10 07:15 PM

Eric, what is that underneath the stairs? Spray on foam? What is the purpose? Curious....

Posted By: Weasel58

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 01/12/10 09:04 PM

Laura, what you are seeing is the rough cut back of the stones that make up the stairs. The are painted white. This light was built back in 1811, many of the lights from this time had stone or wood steps originally. Amelia Island in Florida is another light with stone steps. (Lighthouse friends photo don't have access to mine it's at home)

Below is the Lighthouse friends page on the light, about halfway down in the history of the light is a link to another picture of the stairs.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 01/21/10 12:13 AM

I think Loon is right, its a lantern room, awful short lighthouse blocked by trees otherwise. From looking at similiar lantern rooms, it was built between 1900 and 1930. Cannot find it though.

Posted By: Shortcake

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 01/21/10 02:06 AM

Yes Loon and Laura, it is a lantern room. The restored top portion of a lighthouse that was dismantled.

The lantern room and top portion of the lighthouse was restored (without the lens). It is on display in a city park.

The original third-order Fresnel lens manufactured in Paris by the firm of Barbier, Bernard, and Turenne, can be seen at.....?

Paul, is that a ceiling fan in the lantern room?

Posted By: WackoPaul

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 01/21/10 09:10 PM

Yes it is a fan with a light.. It would get hot in the lantern room during the day so the fan would keep the air moving. When you would stay overnight you had full access to the lantern room day or night.

It's a great place to vacation, the breakfasts were/are superb.. It's been a few years since we have stayed there. We have stayed there twice, once in 1996 and once in 2001.

What is that extra thing in the yard...picket fence around it?

It's a Play Set for the kids. What you are seeing over the fence is the overhead Fort or play house. Should have a latter on the right side or to the back as you are looking at it in the picture. Also should have a sand box on the ground below it. If you will look closely you will see the top of the Swings just behind it, that are attached to it.

Paul, maybe you could blow that up so that we could get a better look at the chan of the swing on the back side.

Sturgeon Point - the angle of the tower seems to change just below the highest window. Like it would if the tower was added onto, but I can't see anything about that and and an old photo shows the same angle change. Curious.
I'll get one up this evening.

We have always loved to visit this light.. The shape of the tower is unique, I love the red shutters, also... Sue and I have been there at least 7 times over the years.. We always stop by on the way to or from the Alpena Lighthouse Festival.

Alcona Historical Society

The society has done a nice job of restoration of the lighthouse.. It is North of Tawas Light and South of Alpena light on Lake Huron just 4 miles North of Harrisville, MI..

According to his Facebook post, Greg was in a hospital in Charlottesville NC yesterday.

He is riding Amtrack to NOLA and got served a dish with nuts in it. So they took him off the train and to the hospital.

By today he was expecting to be 'back on track' to NO.

Someone else should jump in here with a new lighthouse and Greg will catch up when he can.

Posted By: wvlights0

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 03/15/10 01:34 AM

Just until Greg gets back, what if we change the game just a little. I know I have several lighthouse pictures where I could not get very close and so those pictures can't be used for showing just a part of the lighthouse. I bet you have pictures like that too. You can really only identify the light by the profile, maybe a little color. Here's one to start with...

Now Greg, you still owe us a lighthouse. Get well and have fun.

The surface has a strange texture. Looks like some type of masonry, then parged or stuccoed, but in vertical rows??? No strength. Curious.

Just consider that it needs a paint job -- and has gotten one since these picts were taken (in 2005, I think)

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 03/23/10 02:56 PM

Eric, you got it! It is East Quoddy.

I know that many of our forum members have been there. But I think that only a few have been inside.

This was going to be my next picture... which I felt would give it away!

And my final picture is this one.

Notice the man on the latter, he's puting on a new coat of paint. That's how I managed to get inside. The workers where there painting and they let me go to the top, for a small donation. Which I was glad to give.

Stephine,

It was your fourth pic the one that shows the internal bracing and the "pyramidal" shape of the tower that gave it to me. I once spent some time on the "Friends of Head Harbor's" Flicker photo stream.

It's a great place to waste a few minutes. They have done a good bit of work out there.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 03/25/10 05:46 PM

I was being a bit facetious.

Here is a bit more of the light from the outside

So what we have here is a very plain lighthouse both inside and out. But I think the unpainted interior brick is beautiful in it's uncomplicated way.

Posted By: Shortcake

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 03/25/10 07:29 PM

Could this be Cape Florida? I've never been inside to know what color the stairs are, nor if the inside bricks have been painted or not. But the outside pic looks as though it could be. But then it also looks like Cape May from what I see in that pic.

Posted By: rscroope

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 03/25/10 07:35 PM

Cape Florida Black again Stephanie.
I don't think Cape May too? I rememer Cape May being more elegant. But I can't find any interior photos?

I'm going to stick with my answer "Cape May" because here is the picture that I took last Sept.

Looks the same to me!

Even zooming in I don't see the red/white tower or the lamp on ground.
We were suppose to go by sea but 6-8 ft seas put us in the air. Certainly shows upclose & personal is the way to go. LOL

Posted By: Weasel58

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 03/28/10 11:17 PM

The red and white tower was removed a couple of years ago. It was used as part of either Macdill Air Force Base or Tampa International's radio beacon. I haven't been out since it was removed.

The lens is right beside the flag pole inside a square picket fence. The flag pole is in another square picket fence, which is the closest of the squares to the tower. In the photo Bob posted you can just make out the squares.

Paul, you're next.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 04/09/10 10:10 PM

Laura you got it. Hunting island is a Iron tower with a brick interior. The walls are very thin and this allows a larger interior space then one would expect. The landings are not lined up one above the other or alternating between opposite sides like in most towers. There is also the remains of Morris Island's first order lens in the base of the tower.

That was my first thought also, but at St. George the steps are brand new and the brick inside the tower is not painted. Previous St. George had a metal staircase. St. Marks has a wooden stair but in much better condition.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 05/05/10 10:13 PM

Laura I had climbed the tower before the "gust front" hit. I could feel the tower swaying just a little on the way down. When I got outside the wind really picked up. Fortunately this was back in the day when they could drive you out to the lighthouse in a minibus and not have to ride the boat. I'll post a picture when I get home of some fast flapping flags and the lighthouse.

Bush Point Lighthouse is located on Whidbey Island in Washington state. This small lighthouse has been guiding mariners through the middle reaches of Admiralty Inlet into the waters of Puget Sound since 1933. Before its construction, residents hung a kerosene lantern on a pole warning passing ships on dark nights.

If I don't say the name, will you show me more pictures? I was wondering if we would see this one on the Alaska Cruise. Its the last west coast Cape Cod I have to see. Very envious here.

Posted By: WackoPaul

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 05/24/10 04:23 AM

I don't think you will see this on the cruise, they go from Seattle past Victoria to Vancouver and then up the Inside Passage usually..

It was a nice long walk through the woods to get to see this light from the ground.. The only other images would be images of the woods that we walked through as these were shot from a 9 X 12 foot overlook area..

There is a very nice Museum on the Reservation there, the walk down to see the light was just that down hill which meant the walk back to the car was.... you guessed it all uphill!

Bloody Point Front Range, SC?
The palmettos mean southern. Though the house is very similar, your picture has more to the house.... I don't think I am right, unless there has been an addition.
Paul, I took my son and two grandchildren with me on a short weekend trip. On the ferry to Put in Bay, there was a hearse carrying someone home for the last time. A man played the bagpipes as we crossed the lake. As the ferry pulled up, you could see all the family there to meet the hearse. It was very touching.

The 35 foot lighthouse was dedicated on March 25, 1988. Built of bricks covered with stucco, the lighthouse stands sentry over the Port of Mount Dora. The Mount Dora Light is the only inland freshwater lighthouse in Florida. It blinks out its address in red to mariners trying to find their way home across the waters of Lake Dora in the darkness of the night.

Stephanie is having problems logging in to the Forums because she deleted some cookies yesterday. She can read the Forums but can't log in to post. The problem came between her posting her guess and Eric's notification that she was correct. John and Dave have been notified and Stephanie asks that someone else take her place and play the next round.

Any takers?

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 06/24/10 07:54 PM

You got it Paul! Well, Race Rock, NY. I will put a couple pictures up this evening. You can see this one from land, but its so much better up close! We went out on a fishing boat and as the captain said -"We cozyed (how do you spell that?) up to the lighthouses." Nancy likes to say we cozyed up to a rock, a reef, a ledge and a dumpling.

John, it would be great if Cedar Island got a metal roof. Thats what they are working toward. Oops, that reminds me, I need to send Bob the check for the pins.

Posted By: WackoPaul

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 06/24/10 10:20 PM

My image of Race Rock was shot from a Ferry from the Groton area to Long Island, it barely qualifies as seeing it.. I am power washing the deck (on a break), will put up the next light after I finish.. After my hands quit vibrating!!

Of course I do have this image of Race Rock..

I actually do know this one even though Ive never been there. But since I don't have any thing handy to put up next I'll let it pass, although most every one knows it wearing a different outfit.

Mark

So people have guessed the curve ball but no guess as to the lighthouse, yet.. The gray is primer..

You can't disguise that one. Here's a couple pictures of Race Rock

For once I had sunshine and blue skies. Oh, and that West Quoddy. I had a West Quoddy, with a lightning rod. The dog ate it.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 06/25/10 03:57 PM

That light has been visited by the Bradys often.. I have shot images of it during every season and weather condition over the years and the rocks and the base are dead give-aways to me..

My son, Chad shot this image of Jeff and me in 2003 at Marblehead when our club went on a Dave H bus/boat tour of Ohio Lighthouses..

Posted By: wvlights0

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 06/25/10 04:26 PM

The windows and doorway are different in your picture. I thought the unpainted brick didn't look quite right and did not remember it from years ago. That's one heck of a camera you have there Paul, and Jeff is wearing two cameras...serious lighthousing!

Posted By: WackoPaul

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 06/25/10 05:52 PM

I thought I would show some rock and the base of the tower of the next lighthouse, like Laura did of Marblehead..

Sorry Bob; did not know about the rule about needing to post the outside of the lighthouse; thought any part of the lighthouse was fair game; so here is part of the outside of the current mystery lighthouse -- does this help?

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 07/14/10 03:25 AM

Does this help ? ? ?

Munising Front Range Light..

When did you shoot the light? I have always seen it with a red lantern room roof and no green trim.. Most of the time a really faded red roof..

Totally different paint job threw me off..

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 07/15/10 05:27 PM

I had food poisoning the day I had planned to stop and I skipped it and went on to Port Huron for the night and have never gone back that way since.. It literally left a bad taste in my mouth; that is as nice as I can put it..

It would be more due Northeast of me than North, Moby..

Yes it is a Great Lakes Light and I just go to them more often as they are just a days drive to the start of about 200 plus to see.. But we go to Maine every 3 or 4 years and that is a 2 1/2 day drive just to get there..

This was my 1st attempt at aerial photography(November 2000). I was in the back seat with an inexperienced pilot, jumping side to side trying to get photo with a limited camera. The guy in the front seat had his camera jam on his first shot. I kissed the ground when I got back. I was so dizzy trying to look through the viewfinder.

I've been to Latimer several times since. And very close, once with Bill Younger.

It has finished being totally restored since I shot these images in 2004.. You will want to stay in the area as the tours to the lights themselves take some time. We opted for the evening cruise by them all and then out to Raspberry the next day, it can get a little pricey to try to go to them all..

By the way, the guide told us the lighthouse had its original "Frezz-nel." She was wrong on two counts. Mostly she wanted to talked about it becoming a B & B. There is alot of work needed here, some of it urgently.

You got it Paul. I was amazed at how badly they had taken care of the Fresnel from Cape Lookout. I was extremely conscious of how I moved while I stood inches from it. After all the money that was spent to move it, all the people who visit it each year... I had wanted to see this one for a long time. Its a beautiful light.

This stone is where the tower originally stood. Very close to the edge now.

Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Lighthouse..

It was quite an adventure, our cruise ship was landing at the small dock for the first time, ever.. The ship was at least 4 times as long as the dock..

This what Blanco lighthouse looked like when we pulled up to the parking area on our visit in 2002..

After walking down the hill from the parking area and up the next hill to the light, this is what it looked like..

I was real glad I made the walk over to the lighthouse as a lot of people were pulling up to the parking area and just leaving.. I could tell looking at the water that the sun was shining on the other side of the patch of fog..

Great picture Paul. You do seem to be lucky with the blue skies. The gates were closed the day we were there. I tried to get out of the car but I think it was blowing harder there than at Point Reyes...plus the rain! It was gorgeous lit though. A couple days earlier we saw it from the air

That is hilarious. I said Port Clinton as a joke. I can't believe I got it right based on any one of thousands of sea gulls that have landed on that ball. He was still there in May 2010, or his brother..

Part of the keepers job is to stir the water with the oar every day. Water is extremely limited here. For a shower you get a bag to lay in the sun. On a sunny day you get a warm shower, on a cloudy day...well, not so warm. Then you hang the bag in the outdoor shower and gravity does the rest. I won't even go into the counting that is done before flushing the toilet.

It is like seeing all those pictures of St. Simons Island with the house in front. When we were there back in '08, a man told me that if I walked down the sidewalk I could eventually see the lighthouse w/o the house or wires. Got a pretty good shot.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 08/22/10 07:20 PM

No all I had to do was look up to my right and into the cabinet by the entry way and on the Christmas Lighthouse shelf.. I should have got it with just the red window.. I will blame the glare off of the glasss, of course if I would have gone over and turned on the light in the cabinet, it would have been staring right at me..

You're right Laura.

Sue just uses the computers, I do all of the lifting, plus transferring files to a new Mac is a piece of cake; be it from a PC or another Mac.. She has been using my Mac when we are on the road for years so it shouldn't be a problem for her switching..

It just makes it a lot easier for me to network the 3 Macs than 2 Macs and a PC, plus maintaining and updating them will be a breeze from now on..

It looks like it might say something on the headboard...hopefully the potty chair is not the clue. I think the wood is oak, though the color looks like pine. No idea where you are, but I think you are likely in the Great Lakes.

Back to the Mystery Light..

lgthouselady, don't compare your pictures to Paul's. He's a professional. I know mine aren't as good, but they are getting better. Suggestions? Get as many pixels as you can, get a long lens if you can. Mostly just take LOTS of pictures of LOTS of lighthouses and have fun!
MG I offered before to help you with posting pictures and the offer still stands. It takes some time to get the hang of it.
I finally got into 'The Book' this morning...and thanks to MG's clue... I finally found it. Pottawatomie or Rock Island, WI.

Posted By: WackoPaul

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 08/27/10 02:04 PM

Yes it is, here is mine from the same year of 2005 and as you can see Pottawatomie was the lighthouse we were supporting in 2005... JJ had his on even though it was 2007 when the group visited the light during the Regional because of the special day of having all of the Wackos there with Bill and Harry. Bill presented JJ 'with a t' (Jim Johnston) with an AP of the LLOM at the lighthouse since the LE hadn't been produced yet..

In Summer 1865 Poe became the Lighthouse Board's chief engineer; in 1870 he was promoted to the position of Chief Engineer of the Upper Great Lakes 11th Lighthouse District. In this capacity he designed eight "Poe style lighthouses" and oversaw construction of several. Poe was named District Engineer for the Eleventh Lighthouse District,

Thats correct. We saw this lighthouse, along with 15 others on a boat trip sponsored by NELL, Friends of Pomham Rocks, and Save the Bay. The narrator wanted to show everyone what this lighthouse looked like when it still had its lantern...so he pulled out that Harbour Lights model! I think he used 5 or 6 Harbour Lights on the trip. It was especially effective when we were looking at a foundation, like Bullocks Points or Mussell Bed Shoals.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 09/05/10 03:17 PM

You are correct Nancy!! It is Mackinac Point Lighthouse with the Mackinac Bridge in the background and the gateway to Mackinac Island the home of the 2005 Harbour Lights Reunion..

Did anybody noticed that it's a small plane that's flying over the roof of the lantern room not a bird?

Didn't notice it Paul, but its good that you pointed it out. Just assumed it was a bird.

This is the trap door the ladder leads through. Unfortunately the other photos I took up there were lost.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 09/07/10 06:37 PM

You are both correct. This lighthouse is the most famous and the oldest lighthouse in it's country.

Here are the stairs up to the lantern. If you look under the stairs you can see an open door that leads outside. Where the previous photos were taken. This is the highest level open to tourist.

In this photo look for the archway with a red door inside. This is the door that you see from the inside in the previous shot.

Posted By: Weasel58

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 09/07/10 11:28 PM

Laura,

The docents escort you in groups up the tower. The photo of the lens is in the lower vault of the tower. We stopped there first and were told about the history of the tower and that this area was used to store the coal they were burning in the open fire at the top of the tower.
The next two levels were the living areas. The docent told us about the monks and others who had kept the light over the years. The top of the wide part of the light is as high as tourists can go. The wide part of the tower dates from the 13th century. The smaller diameter part of the light above this point dates from the 19th century.

Here is the Irish Lighthouse Commision's page on Hook Head.

Melody, yes that is a bouy that washed up in a storm.

As one walks southward along the beach this is the first view one has of the lighthouse.

A little closer

Posted By: MelJB

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 09/22/10 11:13 PM

Thanks Eric.

This looks like a walk best taken at low tide. Reminds me of the beach to New Dungeness, which if not taken at low tide, you have to walk on the rocks and the slimy sea kelp, which does not make for a pleasant 5-mile hike.

How far is this walk?

Posted By: WackoPaul

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 09/23/10 12:38 AM

It's about a 3 mile hike to the lighthouse.. I will put up a new mystery light shortly..

Posted By: Weasel58

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 09/23/10 02:06 AM

Yes it would only have been a 3 mile hike if the gate had not been locked. We had to add another 2 or so miles to the normal trip. The worst part is the last 2 miles was straight up the side of a mountain!!

The path is not that bad. Most of it is up above the beach. There a a few areas that are soupy, a couple of places are sandy, and there was one deep creek to cross. Fortunately someone had placed a board across it and we stayed out of the water.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 09/23/10 08:44 PM

It was the coating on the brick. I wasn't sure. I will see what I have, might have to wait till this evening to put one up.

These don't have blue skies...but I like them. The sunset is looking out Ocracoke Inlet.

There is a tangible quality in the light from a fresnel! This is one of those places I could go back to again and again...

Paul was still in route and only saw the lighthouse from the boat trip. The first pic was the original outhouse(that I found in woods) that they moved away from the LH so vandals wouldn't burn down the LH if they lit it up.

Check out the wood gutters.

You got it Paul. The last picture was taken with my first digital camera...and was not so good. I used the "oil pastels" effect to salvage the photo. Nancy and I sat in front of the lighthouse to watch the sun go down. We only had light jackets and the coast of California can be cold in April. I held a blanket around us both (or it would have blown away) while she took the pictures.

Since that lighthouse is reinforced concrete, I have the Harbour Lights model in my office. I really wish I could find out what size rebar they used for the verticals. I emailed the question to Point Arena site once. They must have thought I was strange...no answer.

Thank you Paul! The picture on page 3 shows the rebar in base around the tower. Looks like #8 (1 inch) spaced about 16 to 18 inches apart, each way. The tower itself would have the greatest stress, wonder what's in it? The article gives the name of the contractor, so I am going to try and ask them some questions. If I get answers I will report back. Thank you again.

Did you go ashore, Eric or did you just see from the boat? Terry Pepper went to the light recently with a group of his friends.. He posted some really nice images of the event and that is where I recognized the boat house image from; his image of it..

I have yet to get out to it but apparently you can dock at the boat house now..

I really think this is the only Clark's Point Lighthouse I have been close to, it sits in the front, on the second shelf of the left 'Twin' cabinet..

Why yes it is!

This is one from my wishlist. We took a 3 hour detour on the way home from Florida, just to see this lighthouse. They are working hard to save the light, but all it takes is one bad storm hitting just right. Such a tough old fella.
Eric, I was just looking a little closer...there are people beside the lighthouse. Did you get to land at the lighthouse???

You got it Paul! A lot more land and structure on the replica...

Definitely a lighthouse that is still important to small boats. The captain listed off the offshore lights in order - including Rebecca Shoals - while I was talking to him.
If you look closely, towards the right side of the lighthouse you can see where the reef comes above the water. A very shallow area.

Laura, Thank you. Like I stated, I got yelled at by our guide. We were not supposed to leave the walled in area, but of course he did not tell us that until after he saw a bunch of us photo "nuts" out in the iceplant to the north of the light. I had already slid down the cliff when he started yelling for us to come back, so I took the 2 or 3 minutes to get some good photos.

I knew that, that's why I started with the OUTHOUSE.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 12/17/10 05:53 PM

Actually Bob I would have gotten it with just the outhouse, since the signs are a dead giveaway.. They have signs on everything at Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse.. I just hadn't checked out the thread until this morning..

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 01/26/11 07:23 PM

It's been wonderful seeing all the great lighthouses posted in this 'game.' Some I've seen; some I haven't.

We all know this one; but here's the problem:

The game has covered so many lighthouses, who can keep track. But the rule is "no repeats".

So those few who are actively participating and keeping track of which ones have been used are the only ones who can guess because they may have yet another one to post.

Or do they? Maybe you've reached the end of their lists?

Anyone have a different lighthouse left to post? Anyone? Buehler?

Well, I'm still a novice at this so everyone will see an attachment to look at in above post. I'll keep working at it. Sorry.

The difference between whether a picture is displayed or a link is created to it is the dimension of the image. If you have a way of making the image smaller, it will display.

But look at your progress -- yesterday you couldn't post a picture; today you did it!

You got it! We couldn't go down those stairs, the wind was too high. I had never heard the wind howl before. We walked bent over and considered it an achievement when we got to where we could see the lighthouse from a concrete platform surrounded by railing. We made sure our camera straps were secured so that our cameras wouldn't blow away.

Yes it is Copper Harbor Lighthouse, which is one of our favorite lighthouse visits ever.. The boat trip over and back was not only fun but very exciting (windy day and we were the last boat trip as the waves got bigger and bigger).

It is restored very nicely and they have the displays done very well and are protected by Plexiglass, since it is a self guided tour with lots of automated speakers giving you a ton of history in both buildings..

Posted By: wvlights0

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 05/19/11 04:11 PM

Hmmm...a clue. This is from Lighthouse Friends and slightly modified.
By the early 1930s, erosion had put the _________ Lighthouse in danger of falling into the sea, and in 1932 a new tower was built further inland. The old tower was left standing until the new thirty-one foot steel tower was completed in June of 1932. Just six years later, a hurricane tore another big chunk out of the bank, and after the storm the new tower was inches away from falling into the water as well. The following year, a series of massive jacks lifted the thirty-five ton tower and moved it even further inland to its present location. It was placed on an eight-foot tall concrete base so that ships could see its beacon over the top of the keeper's house. The move only took one day, and the light continued to shine throughout the entire move.

BTW, I heard later that one of the conversations that I couldn't hear at dinner that Saturday was about Fort Point starting out as a west coast Cape Cod. I did convince Kim later that you were correct.

that's the backside of Fastnet Lighthouse. The round stump is all that is left of the original tower.

Here are some good aerial views.

Posted By: wvlights0

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 01/22/12 03:23 AM

Exactly right Eric! The tide is definitely lower in those pictures. The original Fastnet was a sibling of Calf Rock, and it was replaced because of the destruction of the Calf. Mr. O'Driscole, the last keeper at the Fastnet, told us about the storms that would sweep waves completely over the new tower. The evening before we went out to Fastnet, we stayed at Heron's Cove and Nancy and I could see the light at Fastnet from our balcony. We had a great boat for the trip and you can see just how close we got. John Eagle does a great tour!

Description: This is at the dock as we were getting ready to leave. Very misty!

Description: But it cleared up beautifully. That's John Eagle on the right, and Gerry, former English lightkeeper on the left.

Description: The fabulous lantern room

Description: and this one, as well as the wave picture above, are from Nancy.

While we wait for Eric to post the next mystery lighthouse, I thought I would show you Fastnet from the shore (actually that should be the Fastnet). It was the afternoon before the boat trip and I was the only one who HAD to take a picture. You never know about the weather, and this might have been my only view. The first is unedited, the second as good as I could get it.

It does front and back if I recall correctly...but defiantly 2 front doors.

Posted By: rscroope

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 03/09/12 07:45 PM

Different roof color, trim color, type of windows and rail from 2006 Bodie, and from my angle there would be a black striped LH over the roof. It does have a similar look with roof line # of windows, porch etc. Probally same keeper house blueprint. Washington was my first thought.

Posted By: wvlights0

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 03/09/12 07:47 PM

Bodie is what came to my mind first also. Railing is wrong, and you can't see the lighthouse behind it. I even checked Lookout and Hatteras...Nope.

The 17 did not help.... LV117 sank in 1934 after a collision with the Olympic, 4 men survived. Lightship Ambrose is at Pier 17 in New York, but only has 4 portholes across the front - yours has 5. I thought maybe it was Relief in San Fransisco, but can find no "17" associated with it.

You are right! I never seem to know when one is going to be difficult or not. Yes, this time I saw it from the water and I got through the tunnel too!

Aren't Puffins just the cutest birds? We only saw two, it was the end of their season. Machais Seal Island is in our plans for the next Sister Trip and we are going in the middle of puffins season.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 01/31/13 07:10 PM

That's right Laura! I was able to go to Portland Head after returning from the Nova Scotia/Prince Edward Isl tour that Dave H organized. What a great time 100+ lights in 10 days. Then stayed an extra two nights to go visit some Maine lights. Cape Elizabeth, Portland Breakwater, Pemaquid Point, Ram Island Ledge, & Spring Point Ledge. We seen a few Maine lights before we headed to Nova Scotia, Bass Harbor, Egg Rock, Owls Head, Petit Manan, I can't remember them all right now. Dave really had a well organized tour, I had a super time!

We pulled out in the "Authorized vehicles" area just before you go down in the tunnel. I had to open the door of the car and stand in the doorway to see over the concrete walls - but it was a great view. No trouble until just as we were leaving. Wow was that woman ticked. Probably had something to do with what was in the background.

Re: Mystery Lighthouse DIGITAL - 02/06/13 06:33 PM

It is fairly difficult to get a good shot of this light without being on the water. This light very very close to my family home in Hampton. I was able to get some good shots of it from the water during one of the lighthousing trips planned during the HL Regional event that took place in Portsmouth some years ago. My first (and unfortunately last) Regional event.

Will see what pix I can find to post for the next mystery.
