Since my blog features the Lighthouse of the Week, usually weekly, I thought I'd mention the annual sale and auction of lighthouses by the General Services Administration of the United States of America.
There are some nice pick-ups here for those of you who might be seeking a coastal address.
Here are the lighthouses for sale to the public; the first one is a downtown address in Cleveland (but you need a boat to get there). Links to each one are on the page at the link above.
- Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Light in Ohio
- Keweenaw Waterway Lower Entrance Light in Michigan
- Penfield Reef Lighthouse in Connecticut
- Stratford Shoal Lighthouse in Connecticut
At this link, there are lighthouses available for no cost (but they need to be maintained) to "federal agencies, state and local governments, nonprofit corporations, educational and community development organizations." Notwithstanding why a federal agency would need to do much to get a transfer from another federal agency, if you have such an affiliation, get your application in.
The Nobska Lighthouse looks like a pretty good property; I'm surprised that WHOI doesn't snap it up for something useful that's ocean-related.
I think I'll feature Nobska as next week's Lighthouse of the Week. Here's a preview.
