Photo Caption:

Clifford W. Sanderson was the third and final keeper of the Dunlap Reef Lighthouses. When the Dunlap Reef Lighthouses were discontinued he was transferred to Wisconsin’s Cana Island Lighthouse. If you look closely you will notice the U.S. Lighthouse Service Efficiency Star on his jacket lapel. A lighthouse keeper was awarded the blue colored Inspector’s Efficiency Star for a well maintained station. If a keeper was awarded the Inspector’s Star for three years in a row he would then be awarded the red colored Commissioner’s Efficiency Star.
