Photo Caption:

Fannie Salter, the last women civilian lighthouse keeper in the United States, posed for this publicity photo, showing her polishing the lens, shortly before her retirement in 1947. Close to the time of her death in 1966, vandals stole the lens from the tower and heavily damaged the lantern room. Photograph courtesy of the United States Coast Guard.
