Last Family Leaves Lighthouse Ending A 108 Year Tradition
The Cape Neddick Light Station ends its 108 year tradition as Russell Ahlgren and family hand over the keys in a flag lowering ceremony. Ahlgren, 26, a Coast Guard petty officer, is reassigned to Block Island to head a search and rescue team. The lighthouse will be maintained by the Coast Guard remotely, with the light and foghorn run by computer. Built in 1879, Nubble Light sits on an eight acre promontory and remains a historic and scenic landmark with a 15 mile beacon sight.
