Sorry this wasn’t done after the April releases as promised–life got in the way. All entries posted between October 28, 2007 and August 12, 2010 are included in the revised Seahorse list.

Many thanks to John Chidester, our webmaster, who upgraded the list as follows:

There are lighthouses where the seahorse location is not known and the word HELP is in the far right column. If you click on the word HELP, you will be taken to this site where you can post the location.

John’s also made searching the list easier in that if you strike the Control (Ctrl) key and the letter F and enter the name of or HL edition number of an item you’re looking for in the search box, the cursor will jump to that item if it’s on the master list. If the cursor doesn’t move, that item is not yet on the list.

Please be sure to include both the name of and the HL edition number of all pieces you list here.

Please use the link shown below to determine if the location is known before posting it here to avoid duplication. If you spot any mistakes, post them here and a correction will be entered to the list at a later date.

HL311 St. David's, Bermuda seahorse location was a tricky one.. I did the split screen with it circled to show it's location..


Hold sculpture such that LH door faces you. Right-facing head and curled tail are on back wall of fence that's between walk and keeper's dwelling. Nose almost touches orange/green shrub at corner of dwelling.

St Joseph Pier HL434
Looking at the flag, Seahorse is, on left side of break wall, 1 ¼ inches from the end of the pier, below the smaller white tower, facing to the right, down in the trough of a wave

Toledo Lighthouse HL476
Seahorse is located 1 ½ inches to the right of the Harbo"R" on the flag. Facing left, in the water

HL426 Grosse Point Lighthouse



Near a back door on the only evergreen tree on the replica..

HL430 Pensacola Lighthouse



On a bush on the backside of the building in between it and the tower..

HL455 Heceta Head Lighthouse



Easy to locate, right over the AC plug-in outlet..

HL454 Cockspur Island Lighthouse



Inside the door on the right side..

HL453 Castle Hill Lighthouse




To the right about an inch and up a little from the AC power outlet located in the rocks..

Hl452 New Cape Henry Lighthouse - not old as the HL list says..




A tough one to see at 1st.. It is under a over hanging shelf of dirt 1/2 inch down and just to the left of the front walk to the tower.. Laying on its back..

HL451 Grand Traverse Lighthouse



This is a nasty location, I looked right at it several times and didn't see it until I took it out on the back deck in sunlight and then looked under the tree one more time..

HL449 Naust Beach Lighthouse



Sue described this seahorse best when i showed it to her, she said, "It looks like an Armadillo!." It is locate about 1 1/2 inches left of the flag in the rocks..

Yep! One way to beat the heat is to search for seahorses in front of the A/C!!

Keep up the good work. . . .

Sandy

P.S. I agree with Sue's description--it bears a strong resemblance to one of the Lee sisters, either Ug or Home.

Very interesting!!!

HL 388 Gurnet (Plymouth), MA--hidden in cliff below bicolored bush behind twin lights. Left-facing head & upper body are same tan color as cliff.

HL 390 Crooked River, FL--1-1/4" left of flag, same tan color as cliff. Left-facing head and whole body can be seen.

HL 391 Delaware Breakwater, DE--4-1/4" left of flag is a hole in the water. Inside that hole is the belly of a seahorse. Her head is facing left, but isn't very clearly defined.

HL 387 14 Mile Point, MI Seahorse is just to the right (1/8 ") of the flag on tan base.

HL 389 Key Largo, FL Seahorse is to the left of the flag about 2 3/4 " in the tan base.

PS: Has Whaleback been moved? On piece HL127 it was in New Hampshire and now I notice it is in Maine! Was it stolled?

HL 269 Monomoy Point, MA--Right-facing, crude head only is inside chimney closest to row boat in yard. Hold piece so that LH is to your right, front entrance is toward you. Extremely small in size, best-viewed with a very good magnifying glass. This picture does not show her really defined and I'm hoping Paul can provide a better picture with his powerful lens.



This picture may give a better view:



NOTE: There is another sighting posted by me, but not confirmed by anyone, that may or may not be a second seahorse location. That one is:

Under boat. Curled up so only right-facing head is shown against front sawhorse that boat rests on.

That second one is also very small, very crude, and almost impossible to view without a dental mirror. It's on the left side of the boat where the oars are located.

I'm hoping one or both sightings can be confirmed by someone.

HL 396 Chicago Harbor SE, IL Looking at the flag go right around the side of the base and then an aditional 5/8 " past the ladder. The seahorse is in the blue water and is also blue in color. Bob Taylor

HL 392 Morgan Point, CT Looking at the piece from the front go around the building on the left side to the small structure in the rear. The seahorse is on the side of the back building next to where the two sides of the buildings connect. Bob Taylor

HL 393 Stannard Rock, MI From the flag go counter clockwise past the boat to the next ladder on the base. The seahorse is brown in color and 1/2 " past the ladder on the side of the base. Bob Taylor

HL 397 Saddleback Ledge, ME From the flag go clockwise 1 and 1/4 ". The seahorse is dark brown in color, sticking out of the water, and placed against the stone base. Bob Taylor

HL 566 Shinnecock Bay, NY From the flag go clockwise 1 and 1/2 ". The seahorse is recessed in the tan earth base with its head touching the green grass. Bob Taylor

HL 394 Vermilion, OH From the flag go counter clockwise 1". The seahorse is tan in color, on the side of the base with it's head up against the green grass. Bob Taylor

This is a whole new view of seahorses with photos!

Here's a few more from the recent Alaska Reunion Set and 2011 Society pieces....

HL820 Sentinel Island, AK -Seahorse is located on rear of piece (opposite side with tower and lantern room) within the "blocky" shaped rocks near the water. Top half of seahorse is located directly below a small brown shipping crate and a small conifer tree which is located below where the sidewalk steps drop down to the ocean.

HL821 Point Retreat, AK -Full body of seahorse is located within crevice of rocky cliff face to the left of the 20th Anniversary Logo and directly underneath the flag.

HL822 Guard Island, AK -Top half of seahorse is located within the water near rocky cliff on rear of piece to the left of the flag under tall conifer trees.

HL568 Fishing Battery, MD -Upon facing the front side of the lighthouse, the seahorse is located on the left side on the piece at the intersection of the water and the land, directly under the smaller of the two trees on the piece. Only the top half of the seahorse is visible.

Time for a new round of Seahorse findings from the most recent 2011 Summer pieces....

HL399 Thatcher Island (Cape Ann), MA - Seahorse is located within rocky cliff approximately 1-inch to the right of 20th Anniversary logo immediately above the water line. Since this is such an easy find, I wonder if Harry has a second seahorse hide on this same piece that is harder to find!

HL837 North Point, WI -Seahorse is located on rear of piece (with tower on the left side of house) within the rocky cliff below the pink colored bush located between the 2 brick sidewalks.

HL727 Squaw Island, MI -Seahorse is located within the rocky cliff approximately 3/4-inch to the right of the electrical jack and approximately 1-inch to the left of the "Christmas 2011" Ribbon, below the snow line.

-Christopher

HL837 is North Point, WI not Wind Point..

Thanks for keeping my mind on track Paul, that's what I meant to say. I edited the above post....

HL 398 Barcelona, NY The seahorse is 2 inches to the right (counter clockwise) of the flag on the tan side of the base. Bob Taylor

HL 836 Port Pontchartrain, LA. The seahorse is almost 3 inches counter clockwise from the flag on the tan base. Bob Taylor
