Couldn’t resist this one, since Donna’s into lighthouses:
WELLFLEET, Massachusetts (AP) — Local historians for decades thought the 30-foot tall lighthouse that once overlooked Wellfleet Harbor had been taken down and destroyed in 1925.
Turns out it had just been moved to the California coast.
The fate of the cast-iron tower was uncovered last year by lighthouse researchers and reported by Colleen MacNeney in this month’s edition of Lighthouse Digest.
How do you move a lighthouse across the country like that, particularly in 1925? They actually get into that in the story. Interesting.
