September 11,We went to the local museum to see their displays on the tsunami of 1964 and the fresnel lens from the Point St. George lighthouse. Many of the displays were centered around local families and local history. The quilt is similar to the one my mother made for me. It's the grandmother's flower garden but this one has a tumbling block as the center of the flower.
The last two pictures are Battery Point Light from the north and Point St. George Light from the shore. The Point St. George Light is one of the most expensive lights ever built, costing over $700,000. It is over six miles off shore and was one of the most dangerous and lonely duties of the lighthouse service. Tours are available from November to April by helicopter.
