Want to buy a lighthouse?

 

Since I feature lighthouses weekly on this blog, I thought this article would be of interest to the rare readers who are interested in lighthouses and who come to my blog to find out more about them.

Terrible Tilly, Oregon’s Legendary Lighthouse, Is for Sale

" ... the lighthouse known in local legend as Terrible Tilly is being prepared for its next owners.

But first, they will need $6.5 million, a unique vision and a way to get there.

The island is a craggy basalt rock that juts up from water so rough that boats cannot dock. It can be reached only by helicopter, and even those sometimes have to circle until the sea lions have shuffled off the landing pad, said Mimi Morissette, director of Eternity at Sea, the Oregon-based company that owns and is selling the lighthouse."

To put it mildly, if you read the rest of the article, the place is a mess.  So I don't know who might bite and buy, and if they do, what they'll do with it.

(And don't mention the occasional rogue waves.)
