Photo Caption:
This close up view shows the damage to the lighthouse caused by the ammunition explosion that killed over 300 men and destroyed numerous ships. If you look closely you will see that the building between the two keepers’ houses is cracked in half. The lighthouse was discontinued shortly after that and sold at auction.
