This is the north lighthouse. The two looked almost indistinguishable to me from the road. I realized later that there were people on the island and on the tower. Lighthouse Friends says you can visit the island and rent a dwelling. For more photos and info about this lighthouse, see my Set page.
The St. Simons Lighthouse Museum is located near the village and pier. The Lighthouse and Keeper’s Dwelling were built in 1872 to replace the original lighthouse built in 1810 by James Gould of Massachusetts, the first lighthouse keeper. The original lighthouse was destroyed by Confederate forces in 1861 to prevent the beacon’s use by Federal troops during the Civil War. The Lighthouse is one of only five surviving light towers in Georgia. The Lighthouse still serves as an active aid to navigation for ships entering St. Simons Sound, casting its beam as far as 23 miles to sea. Visitors may climb the 129 steps to the top to experience spectacular, panoramic views of the coast including Jekyll Island, the mainland (Brunswick), and the south end of St. Simons Island. The Keeper’s Dwelling is a two-story Victorian structure that was the home of lighthouse keepers from 1872 until the 1950s. Today it houses the Lighthouse Museum, and includes interactive exhibits, rare artifacts, and period rooms that reveal the history of St. Simons Island and the life of a lighthouse keeper.

The lighthouse was actually the second light to mark Humboldt Bay. The first was constantly threatened by nature, and was replaced in 1892. The second lighthouse was built on Table Bluff. Although only standing a squat 35 feet tall, the light wass visible up to 20 miles away thanks to its fourth order lens and the elevation of the bluff. The lighthouse was automated in the 1950s, and taken out of service in 1975. The private party it was given to left it in a state of neglect. A group of volunteers came forward with a plan to save it. From what I have read, the tower was cut into two pieces and moved to Woodley Island near Eureka, California. It is a tourist attraction today. When this lighthouse was built in 1892, it originally had an attached keeper's dwelling. It was later removed. Special thanks to Michael jackman for the photo. Directions: From Highway 101 in Eureka, take Route 255 north to Startare Drive. Follow Startare Drive to the end. In the marina will be the Table Bluff Lighthouse. Eureka, Northern California.
Standing at the end of what was once the southernmost peninsula in Mathews County, now surrounded by water and hundreds of yards from the mainland, the lighthouse marks the entrance to Mobjack Bay. Authorized by Congress and commissioned by Thomas Jefferson in 1801, this 63-foot high sandstone tower with its spiraling stone steps to the lighthouse cage, was built in 1805 by Elzy Burroughs, the first keeper. The keeper’s dwelling once stood next to the lighthouse on a five-acre tract. The 200th anniversary of the first illumination was celebrated on January 17, 2005. It is the third oldest lighthouse still standing on the Chesapeake Bay, tenth oldest in the US. Today, it may be seen from the New Point Comfort Observation Walkway located at the southern end of Route 600. Virginia Highway Historical Marker N-89. You can tour this lighthouse by boat, dead rise boat cruise, kayak and SUP board from various rental businesses in the area! Stop by the Mathews Visitor Center at 239 Main Street to get a complete guide of how to get to the Lighthouse - remember you can't get there by car or foot! Bring your own non-moterized watercraft to the landing at New Point Comfort Observation Walkway to access the beach and get closer to the lighthouse in person!

Egg Rock Light Lighthouse Elevation Drawing Blueprint. Egg Rock Light located in Nahant Bay, Massachusetts. was first established in 1856 after a schooner went down. The original structure was a lantern on top of a stone dwelling. Following a fire in 1897 it was rebuilt with a square tower attached to the house - as depicted in the drawing. The print comes with no border. The original scanned image was digitally restored and cleaned up by me. During this process I adjust the colors, the exposure and fix any blemishes on the print. However, I do not retouch everything in order to maintain the vintage poster look. This ensures that this reproduction looks as good as possible and produces a high quality print - while maintaining a historical accuracy in its look. WHAT MAKES MY PRINTS DIFFERENT Sure, you might find similar pictures elsewhere but not all prints are equal. I don't use regular printers and paper to print this art. Instead, I use a high end lab and the prints are made on professional photo printers using high quality a archival inks and acid-free archival Lustre paper. Lustre is a premium finish on a heavier paper and offers the vibrant colors of glossy with the fingerprint-resistant finish of matte. This type of finish avoids glare on the print. Prints are available in all popular sizes. You can select your size while you order. My listing photos are low resolution. Original high resolution files are used for printing. My pictures are not framed and do not include a frame. Some of the pictures with frames are just for illustration purposes only. SHIPPING: Prints are packaged to avoid any damage in transit. Usually prints will be flat-packed and shipped in a rigid box with material to protect the finished print. Some prints might be shipped in a rigid mailing tube with material to protect the finished print. Please see the shop's policies page for additional information on shipping.
