Ok, we all have seen the stereotypical red and white striped lighthouse depicted on TV and alot of art. But, the only red and white lighthouse I've seen is Harbour Town..well, Bloody Point too, but I don't count that one because the spot where the light was is now a bathroom.

How many red and white striped lighthouses have the rest of you seen?


This space for rent. Inquire within.

Let's not forget West Quoddy Head Light in Lubec, Maine, the furthest Eastern point in the United States! The West Quoddy Head Light Keepers Association will be celebrating the 200th Anniversary of the West Quoddy Lighthouse with special events planned from July 17th to the 26th! laugh

Sankaty Head on Nantucket is white with one wide red stripe. Does that count?

Or for that case, about half the lights in Canada. The other half having other combinations of red and white.

I believe Waugoshance was originally red and white?
