About this episode

This episode explores the history and significance of Crisp Point Lighthouse and its neighboring Life-Saving Station.

Listener Lighthouse! I'm trying to think of a lighthouse where I have this hard of a time saying it's name out loud... Regardless, Crisp Point Lighthouse was close neighbors with a Life-Saving Station, along with three others built along "Shipwreck Coast" in 1876. This red-capped light still shines today as a private ATON. Liked this episode?
