CONEY ISLAND (NORTON POINT) LIGHTHOUSE, Long Island, NY. This light still had a lightkeeper until his death in December of 2003. Frank Schubert had been “keeping a good light” since 1960 and was the last civilian lightkeeper for the U.S. Lighthouse Service. Even though he was “officially” retired as keeper, Frank remained as the guardian of the light in the 2-story frame keeper’s home (1896) next door. Frank also served as a keeper at the Old Orchard Lighthouse, off Staten Island.
