This was a bonus lighthouse. I didn’t even know there was a light house on the islands, but it makes sense.
After we left Star Island, we cruised by White Island and got a good look at the Light House. It is also known as the Isles of Shoals Lighthouse.
It was first constructed in 1790 but later rebuilt in 1865. The light house is 58’ tall and its walls are granite that is 2 feet thick.
Thomas B. Laighton was the light keeper, this is interesting because that is the name of the ship that we were on.
