Cana Island Lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

The inner workings of the Cana Island Lighthouse. What an incredible structure. I could spend a couple days in this tiny little lighthouse. I just looked at it trying to think of all the people that have lived there and run it. Or, how many lives it has saved over the years...just an incredible place. If you are ever in Door County Wisconsin you should certainly check it out!!

From the Cana Island Lighthouse Wikipedia page:
"The light itself is a third order Fresnel lens that was made in France. It used to be fueled by lard, later it was fueled by kerosene, then by acetylene, and now by electricity. The round ball at the top is the vent that removed the smoke and soot from the oil lamp. Each night oil had to be carried to the top of the tower by the keeper or his assistant to keep the light fueled. When the light first became electric in 1945, it was by an engine driven, 2 kW generator, and batteries that powered the 100 watt, 32 volt bulb. A powerline was finally installed in the 1960s, and the bulb was switched to a 110 volt, 200 watt bulb. Four bulbs are mounted in a rack that allows for the next bulb to light if the one before it burns out."

"The tower is 89 feet (27 m) tall in all. 79 feet 3 inches (24.16 m) from ground level to focal plane of the light. The light is approximately 85 feet (26 m) above water level, and has a visual range of 17 nautical miles (31 km; 20 mi)."
