Points of Interest East Quoddy Lighthouse Locally known as Head Harbour Light , the East Quoddy Lighthouse stands as it had for many years looking out over the trecherous waters of the Bay Of Fundy Although now automated, it once housed the Light Keeper and his family. Accessible only 1 1/2 hours before and 1 hour after low tide, it presented a challenge to all of the occupants and visitors alike. Today it remains a welcome site, or sound depending on the fog, to fishermen returning to port. Each year it attracts thousands of curious visitors. Many take the time to venture across at low tide, up and down steel ladders, over the jagged rocks and slippery sea weed, to get a close look at what remains one of the most photographed Lighthouse in the world It is also a popular vantage point for Whale Watching The tremendous tidesof the Bay Of Fundy churn and swirl at it'srocky base.

53. Hudson River Valley Lighthouses Information from the Hudson River Lighthouse Coalition includes descriptions of the Little Red Lighthouse at Fort Washington Park in Manhattan, among others. http://www.hudsonlights.com/

Home Page Lighthouses and the Mighty Hudson From the moment of Hendrik Hudson's trip up the mighty river until today, the Hudson River is one of the most important commercial and recreational rivers in America. Hundreds of cargo ships ply its waters and thousands of pleasure craft skip along its waves. The majestic Hudson transports the goods of America from the inland ports out to the greatest deep water port in the country, New York Harbor. In the early history of the continent, great sailing ships drove the economy of the Colonies as they transported goods from the frontiers of North America down the Hudson to England and beyond. As America became a nation, the mighty Hudson became the central battleground of the Revolution, with the pivotal battle of the Revolution being fought on its banks in Saratoga. With America growing and its economy booming, the connection between the Hudson River and the western inland territories was made with the Erie Canal and commercial shipping traffic exploded. Even today in this age of instant air travel the Hudson serves as the primary commercial artery between the Port of New York and the regions upstate. Great barges and tankers filled with goods travel up and down the river keeping the Empire State moving and thriving. The traditions of industry first established in America on the banks of the Hudson continue to thrive feeding the Hudson with a continual flow of goods going to market.

56. Tibbetts Point Lighthouse Descriptive information, photos and events listing. http://www.capevincent.org/lighthouse/lighthouse_001.htm

Tibbetts Point Lighthouse "The only original Fresnel lens operating on Lake Ontario" Capt. John Tibbetts of Troy, NY gave 3 acres of his 600 acres to the Federal Government to establish a Lighthouse. In 1827 the first Tower and Keeper's Quarters were built. In 1854 the first tower was replaced by the present circular one. This also marked the installation of the Fresnel Lens which is still in operation. A fog whistle was added in 1896. It was replaced with an air-diaphone in 1927 operated by a diesel engine with automatically timed blasts. In 1939 the U.S. Coast Guard assumed lighthouse duties until 1981 when the light was automated and serviced out of Oswego, NY. Lighthouse quarters became a Youth Hostel in 1984. 1988 Tibbetts Point Lighthouse Society is formed. 1991 was a big year for Tibbetts Point Lighthouse. Not only did the Town of Cape Vincent acquire it from the Dept. of the Interior, but the Lighthouse Quarters became Hostelling International (AYH). In 1993 the Visitors' Center was built by the Town of Cape Vincent.
