| Last Visited: August, 2002 History/Info:
I haven't been able to find much information on this
lighthouse. The original lighthouse was destroyed by fire in 1864. The
current lighthouse was abandoned in 1939 when a skeletel tower was built
to replace it. Since then it appears to have fallen into terrible
disrepair and is currently on Lighthouse Digest's Doomsday list.
Unfortunately, the photo I show doesn't do a fair (or even good) job of
viewing the lighthouse. It's on the southern tip of Green Island, which
this photo shows. The boat we took from Catawba Island to South Bass
Island didn't get close enough to Green Island for us to get a good photo.

from the Lighthouse Depot.
Here is a link to a web page maintained by Amy Disch which lists the
lighthouses on Lighthouse Digest's Doomsday list.
