Here is the reason for our dip back into the US for a visit to an obscure lighthouse on the northern edge of New York: my dad tended a lighthouse there when he was in the Coast Guard in the early 70's. Also, yours truly was born in a town near the lighthouse and lived in Cape Vincent, NY until I was about 1.
The fog horns and lighthouse.
The fog horn building.
Jamie made the pilgrimage to this Osborn-historical place pretty willingly. I was glad she indulged my idea.
"Circa 1827."
Keeper's house (not where my dad lived. He lived in the town of Cape Vincent a couple miles away).
You can go in the door to the lighthouse but can not ascend the stairs.
Take a couple video tours of the property here 3.8 MB and here. 2.8 MB
Paint shed and Lake Ontario.
An old sign hanging on a wall in the fog horn shed.
Inside the fog horn shed (all these pics taken through a window as it was closed).
These must provide the air(?) for the fog horn bellow, back when it was used.
