  Lighthouse Coverage Wins Award

  
  No, not for me, unfortunately. But I’m not a mainstream (yet) publisher of a newspaper. However, one newspaper did win awards for its coverage of the moving of Sankaty Lighthouse (Sankaty, Mass.) this past year. And from no less a prestigious entity as the New England Press Association.

  Ship Mows Down Danish Lighthouse

  
  The Danish police are holding the Georgia-flagged coaster Yamburg, moored in Hanstholm on the Danish west coast. The captain is charged with colliding with one of the lighthouses in the entrance to Limfjord on Hals Barre. And it’s totally gone. Continued...

Often forgotten, and certainly not as well remembered as the lighthouse keepers, these brave men risked their lives to save shipwreck victims, while lighthouse keepers mostly just stood by. Merged into the Coast Guard in 1915, with the US Revenue Cutter Service, their story is less well known than the romantic tales of lighthouse keepers. Continued...

  The Gales of November

  
  One of the most talented of lighthouse photographers, Gary Martin, has an animated collection of lighthouses in storms on his website. All of these were taken on Lake Michigan, most in November. Some of these animations have been featured on a special History Channel presentation entitled The Big Build - Lighthouse. Continued...
