Neds Point Light

Good Morning and have a great weekend

This post i am preparing a week in advance, as this time next week on Saturday I will be starting a liquid diet for the weekend as part of the pre surgery routine, on Friday I will be on a low residue diet basically Milk, Eggs meat and apple juice, then two days onthe liquid diet, but hey its a good thing i need to loose some weight, plus I think it will be liquid diet for a couple of days after the surgery so more weight lost LOL

but I digressed as I said I am preparign this in advance, and will have before I go inbto surgery polenty of posts in draft to keep me going over my time in hospital and the recovery, I will schedule a few for the first few days and then should be fine to provide upadates on posts

but this post is not about that sharing some shots of NEeds Point lighthouse in Mattapoisette

Ned Point Light as it is official called I believe is a historic lighthouse on Ned's Point Road in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.
The lighthouse was built in 1838 at a cost of approximately $5,000, and named after Ned Dexter, a local farmer. Supervised by a local builder, Leonard Hammond, the lighthouse was constructed with a birdcage-style lantern similar to Bird Island Light found in Marion, Massachusetts.

All the stone used for the construction of the lighthouse was locally sourced, with most of it originating from nearby beaches.

Inside, Which I didn't get to see, are 32 granite steps that are cantilevered to the outside wall without the use of mortar. The original lantern used 11 whale oil lamps, each with its own parabolic reflector. And like other lighthouses I have read up on around here the Whale oil no doubt came from the New Bedford Whaling ships.

The Great Blizzard of 1888 significantly damaged the keeper's stone house, resulting in it being demolished and the building of a wooden replacement.

Following modernization in 1961, the lighthouse was reactivated in 1961 with its current 6-second isophase.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

What a beautiful spot, great shots of the sunrise with the lighthouse.

Good luck on the diet working up to surgery. I bet you will be glad to just have it over with and not have to worry about it anymore!
