Photo Caption:

The Prudence Island keeper’s house shown here was destroyed and washed away in the hurricane of 1938 which claimed the life of the wife and son of Prudence Island Lighthouse keeper George T. Gustavus. It was only through a miracle that keeper Gustavus survived, but the tragedy remained with him for the rest of his life. (Lighthouse Digest archives.)
