I have only 2 words OK OVERTURE. This is a great place where you can spot a wild Ryan. Sometimes even the shy Adams appear, and if your lucky you might even spot the rare Jack. There are many species that look like a Jack but if you want to make sure its the real Jack you will see him in a fur lined women's hat.
© This lighthouse was first erected in Sandy Hook, New Jersey in 1880 before it was dismantled in 1917 and reconstructed along a particularly treacherous part of the Hudson River known as Jeffrey’s Hook in 1921. Run by a part-time keeper and furnished with a battery-powered lamp and a fog bell, the lighthouse—then known as Jeffrey’s Hook Lighthouse—guided travelers for ten years, until The George Washington Bridge opened in 1931 and its bright lights rendered the lighthouse obsolete.nnThe story of the charming lighthouse became a part of popular culture in 1942 when it became the main subject of the children’s book, The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge, written by Hildegarde Swift and Lynd Ward. The tale spurred the imaginations of both children and adults, who rallied to save the lighthouse from being auctioned off. In 1951, the Coast Guard gave the property to NYC Parks, and on May 29, 1979, the Little Red Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places. For its 65th anniversary in 1986, the lighthouse got a full renovation that included reconstructing the concrete foundation. In 2000, the lighthouse got a fresh coat of paint that’s true to its original, historic red hue.
Beautiful lighthouse. And the inside is gorgeous. ud83dude0d
Nice view of the river. I went in the winter, and I’m guessing it’s prettier in spring/summer.
this lighthouse was red, does that make it sus? Why is everything sus? I want to escape this corporial realm. Our society has fallen to such a simple thing.
