The brick structure for the Lime Point Lighthouse was built in 1883[3] as a fog-bell signaling station. It was eventually fitted with coal-powered 12-inch (300 mm) steam whistles. The facility included the fog signal building, a coal shed, a water tank, and a two-story keeper's quarters during operation. The keeper's building was later upgraded to include a third floor.[4]
In 1900, a lens lantern was hung on the southeast corner of the fog signal building at 20 feet (6.1 m) above the water. In 1902, the coal-powered steam horn was modified to use crude oil to reduce operating costs and smoke pollution.[4]
On June 3, 1960, the cargo ship India Bear rammed the lighthouse station in heavy fog.[5] The ship's captain only realized at the last minute that the India Bear was about 180 meters off course. Despite an immediate reverse maneuver initiated, the ship's bow ran aground on the ledge. The Lime Point Light Station sustained $7,500 in damage (most notably, the facility's toilet was utterly destroyed) in the accident, while damage to the freighter was $60,000.[6] A subsequent investigation into the incident identified high winds, which rendered the foghorn signal ineffective, and currents in the strait as causes of the accident. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_Po...
