I'm not sure where to put this one - it doesn't seem to fit in any particular category.

We went to Silver Spring (D.C. suburbs) today and stopped on the way back in Calvert County to eat. The little pizza and sub place that we ate at (Chessie's Subs and Pizza), had lighthouse drawings on the walls.

The wall next to table where we were sitting at had Hatteras, Diamond Shoals and Assateague on it.



But over on the other walls were Ocracoke, and Thimble Shoals (which I knew),



and Mathias Point, Virginia, which I had never heard of.

When I went to look it up, I found that it is just up the river from us off Dahlgren. We can hear them testing over there at Dahlgren from where we are (up on a bluff overlooking Breton Bay) sometimes.

It was another one of the screwpile lighthouses which was dismantled in the mid sixties. Also since the lighthouse is out in the Potomac, it technically is NOT in Virginia, but in Maryland, since the whole of the Potomac up to the Virginia shore is in Maryland.
