I love this lighthouse - thanks for the information. Hubby and I, when we vacationed, used to make it a point to get to lighthouses in the area were at if we were by the shore. We've been to ones locally around the Rochester, NY area, along the Jersey shore and Maine coastline and all of them around Cape Cod. You really gets you out to the furthermost points of land and the scenery there is outstanding. So relaxing and calm being around them and the tales they tell. I collect lighthouse figurines too and we have numerous books and tapes of lighthouses everywhere. It's a fun hobby

1912 Work began in July to build a 35-foot steel structure next to the old Lighthouse. When the steel structure was finished, the old light tower with its 1868 lens was reassembled on top of the new structure, (See Line photo center) making the tower 74-feet high. The work was sufficiently completed to allow the light to be placed back into service on December 15. In April 1913, the work was finished under budget at a cost of $9,455
