Photo Caption:

This photo shows the current Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse when it was close to completion in 1926. At that time, as can be seen, a temporary beacon on a wooden skeletal style structure was in use to mark the breakwater. Thanks to information supplied by Bob Trapani, Executive Director of the American Lighthouse Foundation, from a notebook maintained by keeper Robert C. Taylor, he wrote on November 15, 1926, “Vapor lamp was lit in the new lighthouse on the night 15th Nov. 1926; gas light cut out.” (U.S. Coast Guard collection, Lighthouse Digest archives.)
