The Anderson Hollow Lighthouse (EST. 1889) with its wooden salt-shaker tower is an historic landmark. Originally located on the Waterside Wharf, it has been re-located several times. Currently, it sits at Shipyard Park, Harvey Bank.
Shipyard Park was built in 2006 as a monument to this area's ship building past from the 19th century. The "Revolving Light" is a nearly full scale replica. (Click on the ship's name to read an informative article about its history, written by well-known author Deborah Carr.)
In photos, you see Gary, his brother Ron and sister-in-law Margaret. For information on how the replica was created, click on this link to Stone Metalworks.
We were fortunate to have had perfect autumn weather for our jaunt out to the wetlands in Shepody, and then around to the wind-blown look-off at Cape Enrage.
We hope our relatives enjoyed the area, as much as we always do. Perhaps, it will bring Ron and Margaret back again.

Hi. I love lighthouses. They are fun to explore too! Jane
Hi Jane. This particular lighthouse was closed up, so the only exploring done was from the outside.
