Whenever I see a light station it always bring to mind how strong and steady they are. When you are consumed by rough seas one can imagine how satisfying it was, and still is to witness that beacon of safety. I only wish those concrete walls could speak; what a story Boston Light must be able to tell.
Lived in Hull for a short time, when I was in the 3rd. grade. This was in the early fifties,and a difficult time for my family.We lived in the Village,across the street from the Library in a rather run down house we rented. Although times were difficult, it was my first introduction to the Ocean,it was love at first sight.I remember walking down to Hull Gut almost everyday, watching the boat traffic,especially when the Nantasket Boat came thru. Although many years have passed since those days in Hull,I have been blessed, that I was fortunate enough in my career too have owned a few sailboats , and did a lot of sailing both here ,and in the Caribbean. I now live in Florida and retired,however each summer we spend some time in Massachusetts, visiting family and friends,however, I always find time too stop and make a visit to Hull,it is part of me,and always will be. .
How wonderful! I love history and Maritime, and seeing this historical lighthouse still in operation, and still manned (womaned), really makes me smile. I would love to see this in person and meet Sally;as well as the USCG.
