*Photo Caption:*		If you look closely on this vintage photograph, you will see the official flag (pennant) of the United States Lighthouse Service flying from one of the masts of the Diamond Shoals Lightship LV #72. In 1939, the United States Lighthouse Service was merged into the United States Coast Guard and the flag was discontinued. (Lighthouse Digest archives photo.) Back to the edition of: September 2009
