Can't wait for this one to start shipping...based on BY's comments during our dinner meeting last nite, it's going to be a definite WOW! I only hope that the C of A correctly describes the island as "uninhabited"...the Product Preview page on the main website describes it as "uninhibited"! (Just what were those Boy Scouts up to anyway?)

From that description this should be a real sellout.Every one will want to see it.From Pauls pictures it looks like an exceptional piece,I'll be looking forward to it myself. Bill O'Brien oseabee

I also can't wait to get St. Helena. Is it still scheduled for a mid April ship date? GerryBu

I see St. Helena has made it to E-Bay already. I didn't think it was being released till mid April. Has anyone seen one at their dealers yet? http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1123997822

I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on this one.

Joanne

"Ditto", Joanne.....I have a feeling that this one is gonna be another "WOW"!!

Can anyone answer jchesher's question about St. Helena? I saw the listing on e-bay and they sure made it sound like they had one to ship and were not pre-selling. Can anyone shed some light on this? Inquiring minds need to know.

This has got to be one of the neatest ideas.... two lighthouses in one. I love it. My hubby even thought it was a neat picture ... (hmmm, now what state is that in .... when can I visit it? That way I can be sure of buying it!!)

St. Helena is an island in the Straits of Mackinac. You can see a distant view from the old fort in Mackinaw City. You need a really good lens to get a shot of it. As far as getting there, I'mnot sure if there is a regular way to get there. Maybe hire a private craft?

Mike

Here are a few links to this lighthouse:
http://www.greatlakeslighthouses.com/3900ful.html http://www.terrypepper.com/lights/michigan/st-helena/st-helena.htm http://www.cr.nps.gov/maritime/light/helena.htm

In case you're not familiar with the Mackinaw area, its located at the top of the lower pennsula of Michigan. If you're on the Mackinaw Bridge [in the southbound lane] it is located on the right side [western], but, as Cana said, its pretty hard to see except from the water. Back in '94 I sailed fairly close to it on the 93 foot "NINA" [reproduction]. Thats the closest I've ever gotten to it.

Does anyone have any updates on the supposed April ship date for St. Helena? Is it still due out this month or will it slip?

late last week I was told within a couple of weeks....

Dave

St. Helena MI started shipping to dealers on Wednesday, April 11.





Enjoy.

Last week on my visit to El Cajon I was able to get a close look at the St. Helena AP. As great as Paul's pictures are, this one just has to be held to truly appreciate all that HL has done with/to it. It is simply fantastic, and a wonderful tribute to LH restoration efforts. I can't wait to have my very own St. Helena.

Dave

Thank you John you answered my question but wasit shipped to dealers and not shipped from china again as one of the previous pieces.I am really looking forward to getting St.Helena.Went out this morning to check on another cabinet so I can spread out a little bit.Bill O'Brien oseabee

It's been six days now since they started shipping. Isn't it odd that nobody has one yet? The post usually start a couple of days after shipment starts. Not this time. I am still patiently waiting.

It's arrived in AZ!

This is a great addition to our collection. The dealer called today and I ran to get it.

This is a great tribute to the scouts and all of the other people who brought the light back to its majesty.

Great job Harbour Lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has arrived in Edmonds, WA
Dealer called yesterday; will pick it up this weekend.

St. Helena arrived in the Mid-Hudson Valley today, and it's spectacular!

St. Helena has arrived in Jacksonville, FL -- at least at one HL dealer -- I got a call yesterday that mine had arrived.

I got a call today from my dealer in MN. Will pick it up tomorrow. I can't wait!

ST. Helena, MI has arrived in Delaware. My dealer called today.

I received an email yesterday from my dealer telling me St. Helena is on its way to my house. I'm looking forward to adding this wonderful HL to the collection.

Bob

Picked it up this morning. WOW!!!! Hats off to HL's this is a beautiful piece. GLLKA members, The Beacon features St. Helena in it's current issue on the cover and an artical on the Boy Scouts rebuilding the boathouse. Also, on the back cover GLLKA recognizes Harbour Lights on it's version of St Helena.

We picked up our St. Helena yesterday. Love the instructions that came with it -- only one question remains . . .
Is the tree suppose to lean towards the lighthouse or away form it ? ? ?

Finally In Massachusetts!

Anyday now . . . . .

I was real slow in getting mine this time. My dealer usually gets their shipment about 10-14 days after they start appearing elswhere. Mine just came in Thursday. Roughly the same number I always get, just slow getting it. In any case it is here and prominently displayed. It was worth the wait.
