Photo Caption:

The family of Coast Guard lighthouse keeper Ralph Banks is shown at Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde where they lived from 1952 to 1963. If you look closely, you will see that the 5th order Fresnel lens is in the lantern and it is covered to protect it from the harmful rays of the sun.
