| Notes: | The lighthouse is the third to stand at this location. In 1911 the keeper was removed. A caretaker lived in the keepers quarters until 1929, when the lighthouse was deactivated and replaced by a 60-foot skeleton tower. In 1932 the government sold the lighthouse property and it remained in private hands. The lighthouse was neglected for many years and was burned badly after being struck by lightning on May 2, 2002. The remains of the building were later removed by the owner. |
