Five Mile Point Light

[edit]
  • ... that the original Five Mile Point Lighthouse from 1805 was a 30-foot (9.1 m) octagonal wooden tower, with fixed white light made by eight oil lamps with 13-inch (330 mm) parabolic reflectors?

  • It's a good article, so I'm not too concerned with anything. The source for the amount of oil lamps is offline, so I am going to assume good faith here and approve it, as the first source for the design is online and backs up what is claimed in the hook.
