Fog Signal
www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/upload/sg-foba-horseshoe... --
"In 1883, the U.S. Lighthouse Service built a fog signal station at the tip of Lime Point to alert ships, blinded by the fog, of the narrow and rocky channel. The steam-operated complex contained a brick station building with a two-family residence. The army later constructed a searchlight shelter on the roof of the station to support the seacoast defense system. Today, you can still see the remains of the original fog signal station and while the search light shelter and the residences have since been demolished, the fog signal is still in operation."
