Pennsylvania Lighthouses

Filed under: lighthouse lists — karin @ 7:04 pm

My source for this list is Great Lakes Lighthouses: American & Canadian [GLL], by Wes Oleszewski. It’s a short list lol, since Pennsylvania only has a tiny bit of Lake Erie. I’ll start in the east and work my way westward. This won’t take long. 😛

  1. Erie Land Light
  2. Presque Isle Light
  3. Erie Pierhead Light

New York State Lighthouses

Filed under: lighthouse lists — karin @ 5:09 pm

My primary source for this list is Great Lakes Lighthouses: American & Canadian [GLL], by Wes Oleszewski; however, I have also made extensive use of LighthouseFriends.com [LF], Lighthouses of New York: Greater New York Harbor, Hudson River and Long Island [LNY], Lighthouses of New York [LNY2] and Sentinels in the Stream: Lighthouses of the St. Lawrence River [SS], and Seaway Trail Lighthouses. I will start with the lighthouses on the Lake Erie, at the westernmost end of the state, and continue my way westward along Lake Ontario. After Lake Ontario, we will continue along the St. Lawrence River and then make a couple of jumps – first over to visit the lighthouses of Lake Champlain and then over to the Hudson River, before making our way finally to the lighthouses of New York Harbor and Long Island. Lighthouses with links are ones that I have visited and have made a page about.

Pinpoint Guide to Eastern Great Lakes Lighthouses, by Ray Jones

A nice little take-along guide, in map format (laminated). Contains a number of “holes” (missing lighthouses) but conversely, also contains lighthouses not listed in other sources. Points to the advantages of using multiple sources when lighthousing.
