Abandoned and Forgotten, Please save me!!
Grand Harbour Lighthouse at Fish Flute Point, Ross Island, Grand Manan. The lighthouse was orginally built in 1879, was decommissioned in 1963, and was heavily damaged in a Groundhog day Gale in 1976. Ross Island was purchased by Errol Rainess who lived in New York. It was purchased sight unseen from a Maine Lumber Company in 1984. On May 1999, the Lighthouse Digest listed this on the Doomsday List as North America's most endangered Lighthouse. It appears to have little hope of being saved from its gradual descent in to total ruin. As a lover of Lighthouses this is so unfortunate and sad!! This was a difficult walk to do, since you can only get to the Island when the tide goes out, so you have to be careful of the Tide Schedules. It was totally worth it, as you can see clearly by it's condition, it may not make it through this Winter. Hopefully I'm wrong!!
