HODBARROW LIGHTHOUSE HAS ALSO BEEN KNOWN AS MILLOM BREAKWATER LIGHTHOUSE AND HAVERIGG LIGHTHOUSE. IN APRIL 1900 HODBARROW MINING CO. LTD STARTED BUILDING A SEA WALL TO PROTECT THE IRON ORE WORKINGS WHICH EXTENDED UNDER THE RIVER BED OF THE DUDDON ESTUARY.
BY 3RD APRIL 1905 THE BREAKWATER WAS COMPLETED AND THE CURRENT CAST IRON TOWER LIGHTHOUSE, MADE BY MESSRS. COCHRANE & CO, FIRST EXHIBITED A LIGHT IN JULY OF THAT YEAR. IT REPLACED THE COMPANY'S 1866 STONE LIGHTHOUSE WHOSE LIGHT WAS EXTINGUISHED THE SAME DAY.
THE 30 FEET TALL TOWER HAS TWO FLOORS ACCESSIBLE BY INTERNAL LADDERS. DESPITE ELECTRICITY NOT REACHING THE MINING COMPANY UNTIL 1929 THE LAMP WAS FUELLED BY PARAFFIN THROUGHOUT ITS WORKING LIFE. THE LENS WAS SUPPLIED BY BARBIER BENARD ET TURENNE OF PARIS AND THE LIGHT WAS WHITE OCCULTING; ECLIPSED 3 SECONDS EVERY 10 SECONDS AND VISIBLE FOR 10 MILES.
AS TRADE DECLINED AT DUDDON PORT AND THE MINE OUTPUT DROPPED, HODBARROW MINING CO. LTD. WROTE ON 19TH JANUARY 1949 TO THE ADMIRALTY'S HYDROGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT ADVISING THEM THAT THEY DID NOT EXPECT TO EXHIBIT A LIGHT THERE UNTIL TRADE IMPROVED. THE ALSO CITED THE POOR STATE OF THEIR WHARF AND THE WHARF OF THE NEIGHBOURING IRON WORKS AS FURTHER REASONS FOR THE DECOMMISSIONING OF THE LIGHT AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAD ADVISED TRINITY HOUSE OF THEIR ACTIONS.
THUS IT SEEMS THE LIGHT WENT OUT IN 1949 AFTER 44 YEARS AND THE MINES FELL INTO DISUSE AND WERE ALLOWED TO FLOOD WHEN THE PUMPS WERE SWITCHED OFF. THE FLOODING ALLOWED THE RSPB CREATE THE CURRENT NATURE RESERVE, AND IS THE LARGEST LAGOON IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND.
Well, we did it! We went to North Carolina for the Eclipse, in order to experience totality and it didn't disappoint. If at all possible, everyone should make an effort to experience one total eclipse in their lifetime.
Thanks to Alex for all the work you did in scouting out a great viewing spot at Cheoah Point Campground in North Carolina.
So many people - all with their recording equipment. It was very exciting. — at Cheoah Point Campground.
This is an in-camera reflection that shows the eclipse in an interesting way. Pretty cool, the kids loved it.

The first photo (on the left) taken from 5 second before second contact (C2). The time second contact is 00:37:48 UT from of my position coordinate observe.
So much light caused reflections within the camera generating the duplicate image. Taken May 1994 near Detroit MI.
You’ll just have to take my word for the effect – it distinctly darkened, birds were behaving oddly, etc., see description of next photo.

Didn't have the best conditions to view the Eclipse, with it being cloudy. Clouds broke at the start of the Eclipse, then closed in, then broke again toward peak of the Eclipse.
Not much processing or consideration here... but it was a great treat to see the eclipse was visible to Lawrence, Kansas this evening...
I hope your weekend passed was great and a great start to next week!
