The Cuckold's is located off Cape Newagen, which is at the southern tip of Southport Island in the state of Maine. It should be noted that I am neither a journalist nor an expert on lighthouses. I spent two years there taking care of the lighthouse and equipment on the island. I took this photo in about 1970. The green tanks contained fuel for the boiler and for the diesel generator. To the right of the yellow fuel tank (generator fuel) you can see barely see the old diaphragm foghorn. Actually there were two in case one failed. The long antenna on the tower is for loran beacon and the black dot to the left is just an anemometer used to log the daily weather. The picture is taken from the southwest corner of the island from top of the helicopter pad. This was used for emergency evacuations and other logistics if needed but was never used in the 2 years I was stationed there.

I was on the island for 2 years. Many more things happened and I may add some later. I do ask that if any of my visitors do have any questions please e-mail me and I will try to answer them. |
