From the Cape Cod Times comes the news that Sandy Neck Lighthouse, in Barnstable, Mass, has received a new tower and lantern room.
When the light was decommissioned in 1932, the Coast Guard removed the tower so sailors wouldn’t expect to see a light at night or in the dark. Rumor has it that the tower was dumped into the waters surrounding the light.
Finding a replacement has been difficult, but a mold was donated to the Sandy Neck Lighthouse Restoration Committee from the Great Lakes Lightkeepers Association, who’d made it to replace the tower at St. Helena Island Lighthouse in Lake Michigan.
