This lighthouse is known as the North Island Lighthouse by the locals. It sits 12 miles away from Georgetown. This is the 3rd lighthouse, the 1st burned down, the 2nd lost to a hurricane, this one was built in 1812 using brick and built in a Cap Cod style. It is still active today, but is fully automated. We were not allowed to get off our boat due to Homeland Security issues. Being an active navagational aid it is considered a target! So all my pictures were taken from a boat.
I rarely eat a cake. Not because I don't like cake, I just prefer to eat other foods. However, if I live in DC, I would definitely treat myself once in a while with these delicious mouthwatering Georgetown Cupcakes.

Discovered by European-American settlers in 1774 during a survey of the area carried out by John Floyd, this spring provides a large amount of clean freshwater, which led to the founding and growth of Georgetown in response to its presence. In 1889, the spring became the primary source of water for the private Georgetown Water Works Company, which was purchased by the City of Georgetown in 1945, leading to the subsequent creation of Royal Spring Park and opening of the municipal waterworks adjacent to the spring. The spring and adjacent park, including a log cabin built by freedman Milton Leach in 1874, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
