The Maryland Lighthouse Challenge involves visiting nine lighthouses and one lightship over the course of a weekend. I haven’t the foggiest idea why, but I had it in my head that this was something I was going to do. And I did. And I drew a quick sketch of each lighthouse I visited, in person, usually standing. (I hate to draw while standing.) Chesapeake Bay lighthouses aren’t as impressive as the ones in the ocean, but they can be interesting to look at, particularly the screw-pile type. I filled one page each day of the challenge, and I’m really proud of how they turned out.
Which ones are screw-pile? (also, guess who’s finally catching up on Feedly?)
Drum Point, 7 Foot Knoll, Choptank River, and Hooper Strait. Basically they’re screwed directly into the bedrock but I remember the name because they look like a pile of beams and cables.
