Researching our Lighthouse and It’s Keepersby Steve Eckers, Lighthouse Historian

As the Historian for the Huntington Lighthouse, my research takes me down all sorts of interesting pathways. The fun part is that you never know what strange or interesting facts you will uncover

Our very first keeper of the Lloyd Harbor lighthouse, Abiathar Johnson was found listed in the 1850 census. His occupation is listed as ‘Coaster’ a term used for seamen who plied the local waters. In the 1870 census he’s an ‘Oyster and clam man’. He must have been successful in this pursuit because his name appears in the ‘ Long

Islander’ newspaper as part of the board of directors of a ferry company transporting passengers from the Northport dock to Manhattan.

We’ve also found a note in the ‘long Islander’ of November 28, 1884,that Neale Ward of Staten Island, went on duty at the Lloyd Neck Lighthouse. Less than a year later, Oct. 9, 1885 he was transferred to the Norwalk Lighthouse.. He remains a bit of a mystery, as we know nothing about him

except for his name.

Mr. Ward, in turn, was replaced by Robert McGlone. Mr. McGlone was born in Brooklyn in 1856 His obituary states that he was stationed at Easton’s Neck Lighthouse before coming to the Lloyd Neck Lighthouse. . He was appointed as acting light keeper for the Lloyd Harbor Lighthouse on September 26, 1885. On July 9, 1886 he receives his permanent appointment to this position. He serves at the old lighthouse and then continues at the new lighthouse until Jan 31, 1919. He, his wife and their five children lived in the original lighthouse. Although he is mentioned numerous times in the newspapers of the day, he seems well hidden in census records. He is not listed in 1890 or 1900 By the 1910 census, his family has split up, with only two children living with him. Much to my surprise, his name is listed as ‘Archie’ McGlone. in this document. Why Archie? Was that his middle name, and why did he suddenly use it? He died in mid February of 1919, just two weeks after his retirement..

We cannot talk about the history of our lighthouse without giving special mention to Augusta ‘Gussie’ Harrigan. In 1900 when Robert McGlone’s wife died, Gussie came into his life as his housekeeper. While Robert McGlone worked in the lighthouse, Gussie took care of his children and did housekeeping chores. When Robert McGlone died in 1919, Gussie was allowed to live in the old lighthouse as a care-taker. She remained there until 1925 when she moved into ‘town.’ By this time all the McGlone children were grown and had left the ‘lighthouse.’ Did you know …. Lighthouse keepers were required to keep a ‘log’, a list of daily events. Each keeper had his own style. On the left side of this log was a day by day listing of the weather. On the right side, the keeper could write any ‘interesting’ happenings. It is here that we learn about visits by the supply boat and by inspectors, Some keepers recorded their daily maintenance routine which usually included some form of painting of the lighthouse. We are lucky to have a copy of the Keepers Log for the years 1874 to 1891. If you visit us, please ask to see a portion of it. Here are a few samples from 1889: Jan 31: Painted steps to lantern, Feb. 7 Harbor Frozen over Feb. 12 Whitewashed Kitchen (walls) Feb. 25 Painted kitchen floor. March 11 Lighthouse tender ‘John Rogers’ arrives with the inspector. Station inspected 5 PM.

September 1895… “Application has been made for the digging of a deep channel through the western portion of Lloyd’s Harbor and the digging of a canal across the narrow neck of land that separates that body of water from Cold Spring Harbor.”

July 19, 1902…. Robert McGlone, keeper of the Lloyd Harbor Lighthouse caught a shark, more than five feet long in his gill net that was set off the lighthouse? The pay for a light house keeper in 1901 was $600. (that works out to $11.60 a week)

The original lighthouse of 1857 had only its light to warn boats of the dangerous low water and rocks in the area. It was not until the new lighthouse was built that a fog bell was added. The fog horn was not added until the 1940’s.

In 1857, a lighthouse was built on the tip of Lloyd Neck to assist ships in finding shelter in Lloyd Harbor. This first lighthouse, the Lloyd Harbor Light, did little to assist ships entering the adjoining Huntington Harbor.

In 1912, a new lighthouse was constructed to serve both harbors. The Huntington Lighthouse, built in a unique Beaux Arts style, resembled a small castle and was the first poured reinforced concrete lighthouse built on the East Coast.

The Huntington Lighthouse was manned by the U.S. Lighthouse Service from 1912-1939. It was then left vacant, but was supervised by U.S. Coast Guard. It was fully automated in 1949. The Huntington Lighthouse gradually began to deteriorate, and, in 1984 the Coast Guard, deciding it was too expensive to repair, considered demolishing it and replacing it with a steel tower.

In 1985, local resident Janis Harrington founded Save Huntington’s Lighthouse, Inc. to preserve the lighthouse from demolition. The group is the first in the country to successfully take over and restore an offshore lighthouse.

In 2003, The Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society began offering tours of the Huntington Lighthouse, allowing the public to see the rich history and value of its preservation. It is the only offshore lighthouse on Long Island that is regularly open to the public.

The Lighthouse Preservation Society needs to raise a minimum of $250,000 in order to receive matching funds from an approved grant by New York State. That will allow it $400,000 to complete much needed restoration work.

The Huntington Lighthouse needs 650 tons of rip rap, which are three to five-ton boulders, to protect the concrete at its base and landing, which is being eroded away at high tide. The base is vulnerable to waves and heavy boat traffic in the harbor, as well as easterly storms. The rip rap will help keep the force of the waves from wearing away at the basic structure. The cost of the required rip rap is estimated at $350,000.

The Huntington Lighthouse is available for corporate meetings and private gatherings for a donation. The space accommodates up to 50 guests. For more information, visit www.huntingtonlighthouse.org.

light and the fog horn. They also replace the smaller batteries with large wet-cell batteries with enough power to run both the light and the fog horn.

2009 Music Fest 3 goes off without a hitch. We’re getting good at this have it almost down to a science. More bands and boats galore! Lots of great work completed on the interior of the lighthouse.

2010 Friday, Nov. 27 first ‘Lighted Boat Parade’ takes place in Huntington Harbor.2011 June 3, 4, & 5 - ‘Boatyard Cabaret’, our first on land major fund raising event.

2011 Another successful Music Fest!!! The Biggest one yet!2011 October, Coast Guard removes the 500mm lens / light assembly and replaces it

with a new LED light system.2011 Lighted Boat Parade 2.2011 Fall of this year we apply for a NY State Historic Preservation Grant in the

amount of $250,000.00 to do the much needed foundation and Rip Rap work.2012 WOW! We got the grant! Now we have to raise $250,000.00 in matching funds

in order to receive the money. Lots of fundraising ahead. Estimates for this work is as high as $500,000.00

2012 Lots of changes in the organization starting with an all new website. Had our first ever volunteer mixer at Honu – fabulous success and met some terrific new volunteers!

2012 June 16th was the 100th Birthday Party for the lighthouse. The light was lit that night at 8:42pm. It was the most incredible party in the history of this organization. *Thank you David Tunney of Oldfields Restaurant in Greenlawn.

2013 Lots of great things happenened! Incredible media attention this year. Tours have been packed, we had our first “sit down” dinner on the top of the Lighthouse courtesy of David Tunney! We are focused on raising funds and keeping our Lighthouse looking great and standing strong!

2014 This year has been a whirlwind of activity! Last fall we had large cranes on barges remove a LOT Of Rip-rap from the base of the lighthouse so we could see what kind of damage we were dealing with. The damage is a lot worse than we imagined. It’s going to take ALL of the $500,000 we estimated and if we can’t get started with the work this fall that number is going to rise significantly. We are in full fund-raising mode - we don’t have much time left to raise the rest of the funds for the matching grant - We need all the help we can get!!

And now today, the 8th Annual Lighthouse Musicfest!

The state of NY has already responded to the need to restore the Huntington Harbor Lighthouse with a $250,000 matching grant appropriated by NY state Parks & Historic Preservation in 2011. Now, this trusted and proven nonprofit must raise the remaining $1.25 million from our philanthropic community in the next 24 months. Please consider a tax-deductible contribution, or multi-year pledge, to save Huntington Harbor Lighthouse for the next century of public exploration and education, as an important aid to navigation, and as an iconic symbol of our maritime history.

Beyond this current campaign, yet extremely important to the long-term protection of the Lighthouse is an additional $1 million restricted preservation endowment. Thus two additional $500,000 naming opportunities are available to endow the annual maintenance of the Lighthouse and these donors will be recognized with a bronze plaque on the Lighthouse.

Our Foundation for the Future Campaign seeks the following special major donors to be recognized with a bronze compass rose plaque at the Huntington Harbor Lighthouse: • 2 contributions of $250,000 • 3 contributions of $100,000 • 4 contributions of $50,000 • 6 contributions of $25,000 • 10 contributions of $10,000 • Pledges may be made up to five years.

Huntington Lighthouse President, Pamela Setchell, teaches about the history and importance of lighthouses.

LESSONS ON THE pAST

We received a lovely letter from fifth-grade teacher, Carla Tischio, from Reed Intermediate School in Newtown, CT. Her class was studying lighthouses and had many questions regarding their history and importance.

The children were thrilled when prizes were handed out for answering quiz questions. Each student made beautiful thank you cards in appreciation for their special in-person lesson.

The childrens drawings and cards will be on display at the Huntington Lighthouse during tours this summer.

LESSONS fOR THE fUTURE

To many the Friday after Thanksgiving or Black Friday is the official kickoff to the holiday season. But in Huntington, the day is dubbed “Blue Friday,” thanks to the Huntington Lighthouse Preserva-tion Society and it’s Huntington Harbor Parade of Lights, a boat parade that draws thousands of landlub-bers to our shores. In 2010, HLPS President Pamela Setchell was inspired and (nudged along) by Dick Gilder-sleeve, owner of the Crabshell restaurant and founder of the Stamford Boat parade. It is a great way to “bring the light to the shore” while raising public awareness about the ongoing preservation efforts at the Lighthouse.Over the last four years the parade

route has grown to larger viewing areas, and now encourages homes and businesses along the har-bor to “Get Lit Too”. In addition to decorating from stem to stern, vessels towed decorated dingies, water cannons, a floating lighthouse replica, a DJ, the Eiffel Tower, a living room sofa, barking dogs, a snow machine and even a marriage proposal. A fun and exciting community event, but also a serious fund-raiser. Efforts range from our local cub scouts organiza-tion and the Lighthouses’ Teens on the Water selling Christmas ornaments, col-lecting donations, to entry fee’s, t-shirts and local business sponsorships. Don’t have a boat? Come on down to the harbor, grab a hot chocolate or your favorite cocktail, cheer the boats on and support the Huntington Lighthouse.

MAKE FITNESS A PART OF YOUR LIFE.

It’s been quite the year since last years Musicfest! We have been focused on the raising of the funds for the $250,000 matching grant that we were awarded from the state in 2012 and have been extremely focused on kicking off our “Foundation for the Future” Capital Campaign. Last Fall we had quite a bit of the Rip Rap moved away from the base of the Lighthouse so we could actually see how much damage there was to the foundation. Needless to say, it wasn’t good news. The Engineers are currently putting together numbers and we are pushing hard to raise the money to

start the work this fall.

Thanks to Martin Viette Nursery and many others we still managed to hang our beautiful wreath on the lighthouse! Our Christmas wreath

has become a tradition that must continue. Martin Viette Nursery greens the 12 foot frame donated by Sound Marine with beautiful fresh pine. The brave guys from the Huntington Harbormasters office supply us with a warm boat to use as our transport, and who also supply most of the muscle with some of our volunteers and Mike from Seatow to get this 12 foot, 600lb wreath in place. This year we even had help from the guys from Suffolk Marine Bureau. Without them, we would not be able to give this present to the very late-season boaters who

pass the lighthouse so often. Our Third Annual Lighted Boat Parade was a huge success and brought the festivities to many of our non-boating neighbors on land. The boats in the parade were decorated to the hilt! The spirit that night is unbelievable! The land crowd doubled in size and cheered the boats on! We are so excited

to be able to give this gift to the community! Our foundation and Rip-Rap issues are more serious than ever! The shifting of the rip rap over the past 40 years or so has become quite dramatic. Most of this is attributed to increased wave action from boats over the past 50 years. Huntington

has become a very busy harbor and Lloyd harbor sports quite a bit more in visitors too. In 2012 we were generously awarded a $250,000 MATCHING grant, which means that we will receive the grant if we, as a group, can raise the matching $250,000.

As you can imagine, this is a daunting task! We have worked diligently and have currently raised about $140,000 towards our goal. We need your help in completing our mission!! We also need your help in minding the 5 mph speed

markers. Every little bit counts! Our tours are more popular than ever, with more people ‘visiting’ us each year. If you haven’t taken a tour of the lighthouse, there are a few more tours this season. If you can’t make it, check our website at www.huntingtonlighthouse.org

next spring and check the 2015 schedule. If you’re looking for a different Christmas present to give a boating friend, make sure to stop by before the tours end this season and pick up a sweatshirt or some Lighthouse Merchandise. Want a unique place to have a small party…The lighthouse

is it! Your guests will never forget it!

We don’t know how it happens, but every time we’ve needed some special help at the light, someone, as if by magic appears. Some

of our saviours are the whole crew at Coneys Marine and West Shore Marina… whether it’s to lend us an extra fender for the dock, to help us with a boat when ours is out of commission, or to take care of our boat in an emergency, they know when to appear with their magic touch. They are truly amazing.

Every penny donated to the lighthouse, whether it be cash, buying a ticket to one of our events or purchasing a brick for our walkway, goes right back into the

lighthouse. If you own a house on the water, you know what salt air can do to it. Now, imagine a house sitting totally surrounded by water with

no one living in it to deal with the everyday problems.

The repair of the concrete, the foundation and the Rip Rap will be costing many, many thousands of dollars that

we do not yet have (well over $500,000 to be exact!). The frantic fund-raising continues. Once this is done, she should

be good for another 100 years or more.To donate to our Capital Campaign visit our

website at huntingtonlighthouse.org

This is everyone’s lighthouse! Wrap your arms around it and keep the spirit! She’s

a good ole girl...

Huntington Town Supervisor

Frank Petrone intends to bring

a less dense version of the con-

tentious project up for a town

board vote later this month.

The developer behind the

proposal to build a 55-and-old-

er community is now pitching

256 condo units instead of the

360 originally proposed for the

Elwood Road site, following

recent meetings Petrone orga-

nized between the developer

and community members from

two groups who opposed the

project.Opposition to the project

on the 37-acre Oak Tree Farm

Dairy property has mainly fo-

cused on density, traffic and

environmental concerns, while

those who support the plan say

such housing for seniors is a

dire need in Huntington Town.

Petrone, who in a phone

interview on Tuesday said he

supports the project’s new iter-

ation, hopes to bring developer

The Engel Burman Group’s

zone change request for a vote
