Looking at a photo of White Shoal elsewhere on the Forum, I got to wondering when the FIRST lighthouse appeared with the stripe wrapped diagonally around the lighthouse. And whether the stripes always go in the same direction.

Anyone have any ideas?

But let's also make a list of American Ligthhouses with diagonal stipes - same old rules, one post per person per day. Extra credit if you can provide a link to a photo. Or if you have YOUR OWN photo, you can post it here.
