Number Lights

Here's a fun one. Let's see how many lighthouse names we can list with numbers in them. One post person/day.

I'll start.

Thirty Mile Point, NY.

Forty Mile Point, MI

Fourteen Foot Shoal MI

Fourteen Mile Lighthouse , Lake Superior, Ontonagon, Michigan

edited to make link work - Dave

14 Foot Light Delaware Bay

Seven Foot Knoll, Baltimore Harbor

Two Bush Light, ME

Don't ask me , I found it on page 69 of "Legendary lighthouses" by John Grant and Ray Jones.

Ten Pound Island, MA

Three Sisters of Nauset, MA

Two Harbors MN

Five Finger Lighthouse , Juneau, AK

35 Foot Channel Lightship

That's a new one to most of us, I bet. Where is (was) this location, Aaron?

Three Sisters Island NY

Five Fathom Bank Lightship

Two Rivers North Pier, WI on Lake Michigan. Our merry band of Wackos visited this light on the pre-Rosemont expedition a couple years ago.

Five Mile Point, Connecticut

Lightship Ten (Denmark, but currently in London)

Sadly I do not know whether or not she is still afloat. She was a Chesapeake Bay lightship who served until 1919 but am not sure if she was scrapped. She was stationed near the James River in VA.

Half Moon Reef, Texas

68th Street Crib Light, Chicago, Illinois

Well that was sure a SURPRISE. Never heard of that one nor several others at that site!

But it led to this game one:

Four Mile Crib IL

Phare du Four (France)

This one on the Hudson River's long gone...

Four Mile Point Light


(Fixed the link for you -- Greg)

Now THAT is an interesting light! Where did you come upon that?

Yeah, I forgot the name of the lighthouse at first. Well as I said, it's long gone!!!!

I've known about that one for a long time thanks to Mike, the Lightkeeper. Here's a link to his site which features this light as well as the other Hudson River lighhouses past and present.

In the fall of '99 we located the area where this light was and a house that may have been the keeper's house.

My first link is a neat site as it takes you along the Hudson pointing out all the historical sites.

This is a good game, Greg. You're doing a nice job here.

One Fathom Bank, Malaysia

The Three Kings, New Zealand

(A very distant view!)

Fouras, France

That seems to be a little bit of a stretch, Sue.... but definitely creative.

But I love it, Sue. How creative.

Bob

Getting to this one's a bit of an adventure!

Nine Mile Point, Ontario, Canada

Have never seen this one but maybe will do next year in association with the Reunion on Mackinac.

Six Mile Point Range Rear Light, Cedarville, Michigan

Sue, I found your log from a trip to the St. Lawrence area several years ago recently, and read about going to Nine Mile Point. It looks like quite an adventure!

Doubling Point Range Light just past Fiddlers Reach Fog Station on the Kennebec River in Maine.

Its not exactly a number, but it is mathematical in nature.

Gary

Sevenstones Lightship (England)

(With another much larger ship behind it!)

Coney Island Light

And,

If Coney Island is acceptable ...

... then so would be Jones Point ...

Grover

And the 'Twin Lights of Navesink' must fit in there too.

Rules for this game are one post per person per day Barry!

Here's the numbers found so far:

1/2, One, Two/Doubling/Twin, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Nine, Ten, Fourteen, Thirty, Thirty-five, Forty, Sixty-Eight.

These numbers have described:

Moons, miles, fathoms, rivers, harbors, bushes, sisters, kings, fingers, feet, pounds, and streets.

Also: Points, shoals, knolls, channels, banks, piers, reefs, cribs and islands!

Does this count??

WLV 82 Eleven Foot Shoal Lightship

Looks good to me Mike! Here's a link to a photo of it:

(Couldn't link to the page on it as the address had parentheses in it.)

Wow, I didn't even think of mathimatical variations or numbers in the middle of names. It's OK with me...adds another dimension to the game.


How's this:

Five Islands Light, NS
