Description
When completed in 1949 at a cost of roughly $200,000, the lighthouse was hailed as the world's most modern and a forerunner of what was to come in the way of automated aids to navigation. The lighthouse was originally equipped with a rotating airway beacon, mounted on its roof, and was controlled by an astronomical clock that would compute the sunset and sunrise times each day and turn the light on and off accordingly. To avoid the possibility that the beacon could concentrate the sun's rays and melt its lamps, the light rotated continuously.
