The Baltimore Lighthouse
While visiting with a former classmate of mine yesterday, we boated around the Magothy River, in the Annapolis area of Maryland. Came across this cool lighthouse. A little bit of history from Wikipedia:
The Baltimore Harbor Light, officially Baltimore Light and historically Baltimore Harbor Lighthouse is a privately owned caisson lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. First lit in 1908, it sits at the mouth of the Magothy River, marking the channel which leads northwest to the opening of the Patapsco River, which then leads into the Baltimore harbor. At the time of its construction, it was the world's tallest caisson lighthouse. In June 2006, Baltimore Light was sold at auction to private owners by the General Services Administration for $260,000; the U.S. Coast Guard maintains rights to operate a light on the structure.[5]
For more about this lighthouse, which will soon be availalbe to hold a private function, or stay overnight in...
