Peshtigo Reef Light

(

... that although the Peshtigo Reef Light incorporates a keeper's dwelling, it has never been permanently manned?

Article is long enough, new enough, neutral and well-cited. Hook is interesting and cited, except that the reference says never "permanently" manned, and the article makes it clear the accommodation is for temporary use, so I have taken the liberty of adding "permanently" to the hook. Copyvio check finds none. Ready to go. Moonraker (talk) 18:12, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

The light was never "manned" in the sense that keepers ever lived on the light, even temporarily, in order to operate it. The quarters were provided as a refuge in case visiting maintenance personnel were unable to return to shore immediately. Mangoe (talk) 14:55, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
