A very good article detailing 9 lighthouses throughout the world which are no longer in use. Many are very much endangered. Also links to two other articles which this author has written detailing other abandoned lighthouses. Very interesting!

I think the lighthouse he is showing as Patuxent is really Drum Point. Its been moved, but its is great shape.

HMMMM. I agree Laura. Looks like he's working on misinformation to me.

Waugoshance and Sabine Pass do have groups that want to work to save them. Especially in the case of Waugoshance this is a very uphill battle with the remote location and condition of the light. Waugoshance is also going to be a challenge but at least it is easier to get to.

And, thanks for sharing, Roland. Interesting article with some cool lights (even if they may be off a bit on some of them).
