Its a great lighthouse, so it needs pictures. I started the article so some of my information may not be correct. --Digon3 02:28, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I added pictures. Also re-wrote the body of the article. Much of the information in the original article was out-dated; ie: the First-Order Fresnel lens has vbeen replaced. Jerry lavoie 17:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I've reappraised the article from "Stub" class to "B" class. The article is much improved after your efforts, but could still be better. It would be nice for the article to broken into sections for readability, although I can't think of what those sections would be besides "History". It would also be good to have some discussion of the purpose of the lighthouse relative to the surrounding area; is there a harbor nearby, or a shipping lane, or what? Once again, good job.

Another thing to mention would be when the lens was replaced and some information about the replacement lens (in the text itself, not in the infobox). Mike Dillon 01:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind this comment. I found the information near the bottom. It might have been easier if there were some sort of sections. Maybe another lighthouse article would be a good guide for what sections there should be. Mike Dillon 01:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
