Thanks for all the good information, John!

Thanks for the info, Jim. It's always nice to know what's coming next.

Thanks John. I really like that El Morro Pr. Is that accessible?

Let me ask Lorie Roe to answer that. She was there earlier this year, I believe.

I just checked out both El Morro and Admiralty Head pieces, and I love them both! I've had the opportunity to see both of these lighthouses. We visited El Morro in 2002 after a cruise out of Puerto Rico. We got to the fort 10 minutes before it was closing, and they weren't letting people in. We were leaving the next day, and I had to beg the guard to let us in.

Lorie Roe posted a nice photo of El Morro earlier this year. Here's a link to a photo I took in 2002 on my very brief visit: http://home.earthlink.net/~twolfephotos1/images/El%20Morro.jpg

Nice shot, Tammy.

I have been to El Morro several times. It is run by the NPS. You can tour all through the fort but the lighthouse is not accessible to the public. The lighthouse is contained inside the fort so you can get "upclose and personal" for picture taking but not go inside the tower.

The fort is located in Old San Juan and is a nice walk up the hill from where the cruise ships dock.

Sorry to not post this sooner but...I love the new El Morro Harbour Light piece. I have requested this piece to be made since the first Harbour Light reunion in San Diego.

Isn't it great to have one of your HL wishes granted? The Pharos of Alexandria was one for which I kept asking (of course, I knew it was in the works long before it came out so it was kind of anti-climatic). I love Point Abino and would love for it to be made into an LE. It was good to see in the latest issue of "Lighthouse Digest" that work continues there. There were many problems with public accessibility for a long time.

Tom,
You can go in the fort and up close to the lighthouse but not in it!

Thank you all. It is a beautiful Light. At the risk of repeating myself I'll have to put that on my go to list for the near future. Maybe a winter cruise?? Hey Hilari-Jim watcha doing this winter??

Tom,
First lets get Ireland over with.
Maybe a week early next year. PR has lots of lights other than El Morro to see!
HCS

Unfortunately, too many of them are on the endangered list!

Way to go, Tom! You are doing great!

I lived in PR for 5.5 years and visited El Morro many times. I fell in love with it on my first visit to the fort. I have wanted them to make this piece since I first started collecting Harbor Lights and found this Forum. I already have mine on order and have a print out posted on the wall next to my chair till I get the real thing. I thought we had lost this chance for a full size piece when they made the Little Light of El Morro. I'm glad I was wrong and this is another 1st class job by HL, well done, well done.

I may just get more than one to send to friends.

El Morro here I come. I should really say here we come. Probably next year with a small but maybe in November????

Tom,
El Morro is a great light to see. If you wait till next year we may join you.
HCS

Sounds good to me!
