Registration also helps us know how many chairs we need: https://morseinstitute.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/boston-light-keeper-sally-snowman/Boston Light – the first established Light Station in colonial America – began lighting the way for safe navigation into the fledging maritime port of Boston in 1716.
However, its notoriety in the maritime community as the “the last manned Coast Guard Light Station” in the country has come to closure with the retirement of Sally Snowman, its 70th and last keeper. A power-point presentation provide photos of Boston Light’s 307 years of history and a few photo anecdotes of Sally’s experiences as a 21st Century Keeper.
