Southeast Light House

Wednesday 8/8

Back in approximately 1986, my Dad sketched this light house on Block Island from the trailhead at Mohegan Bluffs. So why can i only see the top of the roof and the lantern?  I was there when he made the sketch.  Did the vegetation grow higher?

That's what I thought until I remembered hearing that they moved the light house back from the eroding bluff!  Sure enough, in the lighthouse museum, they had a poster detailing the 1993 relocation.  There was also a historic photo of the structure in its old location, very nearly matching the perspective of Dad's sketch.
