This was part of a series I did for a now defunct apparel company. "America's Legendary Lighthouses" was the name of the project.

Thanks Bruce for taking time to comment. Being a keeper must have been a very solitary situation. But so essential for commerce and travel. This drawing was part of a series of fifty done for an apparel company. I just sold my version of the Thomas Point Lighthouse, still in operation. I love the Chesapeake Bay. I try to get down there whenever I'm able. Your history of the keeper was very interesting. Thanks again for taking time. Appreciate it. Ira Shander

Nice drawing of the Point Lookout Light when it was originally built. Great item for anyone who loves the Maryland Chesapeake Bay. This light house has so much history with it it would be a great picture to hang on any wall and use as a great conversation piece. Just a little history for anyone who purchase your print. Light was lit September 20th 1830, James Davis was the first Keeper. Davis's wife was Anne. After James died Anne was the keeper. In 1849 a cat fell in the oil barrel and spoiled 56 gallons of it. In 1858 the Light was White while the bricks were yellow and the roof shingles were red. Hope this info promotes sales for you.
