It looks as if it wandered off the shore and kept going. Somebody lived there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most of the century before automation, somebody lived out on lights like this one: trimming wicks, winding the clockwork that turned the lens, logging the weather, and rowing ashore for supplies when the water allowed. The keepers of New England lighthouses were fathers and sons and, more often than people remember, wives and daughters who kept the lamp burning when the men were gone. This light went into service in 1909; people kept it until 1987, when the last crew came ashore and a machine took over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery historic lighthouse amounts to a small house built to keep strangers alive. Most of the sailors it saved never knew who was inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur own line drawing, set in crystal so the brickwork and the water read under the lights, with the brick as the one warm color. Three inches across; switch on the tree and it has a light again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor lighthouse lovers and collectors, restoration volunteers, boaters and sailors, keepers' descendants, and everyone who has wanted to live somewhere you need a boat to leave. Profits go to hunger relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFaceted crystal, three inches across, with a white back so the line work reads from across the room on a lit tree.
