Around 1857, the bird-cage style lanterns of the twin lighthouses at Chatham were replaced with new lanterns that each held a 6th order Fresnel lens. However, when erosion threated these towers, the government built two new twin cast-iron towers across the street and left these two towers to the elements. Between 1878 and 1879, most of these towers and the keeper’s house tumbled over the cliff. Back to the edition of: May/Jun 2023
