    The Lighthouse That Learned to Move

    Nauset Light—with a little taste of Cape Cod.

    My daughter spotted the coincidence: the Cape Cod chips she had brought along featured the very lighthouse we were standing beside.

    I have always thought a lighthouse was supposed to be one of the more settled things in life.

    It stands there.

    The sea moves.
    The ships move.
    The weather changes.

    But the lighthouse stays put.

    Apparently, I was wrong.

    Nauset Light moves.

    The lighthouse we see today in Eastham wasn’t even originally built there. The tower was built in 1877 as one of the Chatham Twin Lights and was moved to Eastham in 1923.

    And then the Atlantic started doing what the Atlantic does.

    It kept eating away at the coastline.

    By 1996, less than 35 feet remained between the lighthouse and the cliff edge.

    So someone had to make a rather unusual decision:

    Move the lighthouse.

    Not repaint it.

    Not reinforce it.

    Not tell the sea to behave itself.

    Move it.

    The entire 48-foot tower was moved about 300 feet inland to a new location across the road.

    Nauset Beach Light Station, a Shifting Landmark” information board.

    A lighthouse with an unusual history.

    Standing there today, looking at that magnificent red-and-white tower, you would never know that it has already changed address twice.

    It seems almost amusing.

    We normally admire people who stand their ground.

    But perhaps we should also admire those who know when the ground is no longer where it used to be.

    Because sometimes circumstances change.

    The familiar shore begins to disappear.

    The things that once felt secure no longer are.

    And then comes the difficult question:

    Do I hold on—or do I move?

    Lighthouse from the road

    Nauset Light, Eastham, Cape Cod.

    Nauset Light offers a rather elegant answer.

    It didn’t stop being a lighthouse because it moved.

    It simply carried its light with it.

    Pushed Back by the Sea” — with the Atlantic Ocean beyond.

    When the sea comes closer, sometimes you have to move.

    Perhaps resilience isn’t always about staying exactly where we are.

    Sometimes it is about recognising that the landscape has changed—and having the courage to move without losing what matters.

    The lighthouse moved.
    The light stayed.

    Maybe that’s the real lesson.

  12. Hype for the Future 64F: Boothbay Area, Maine

    Introduction The Towns of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor are largely associated with the summer season, both along the Atlantic Ocean with Boothbay slightly further inland (north) within Lincoln County, Maine. Though Monhegan Island and its associated plantation may be more accessible from Knox County to the east, the island area is also considered part of Lincoln County, albeit separately identified from the Boothbay communities. Boothbay Harbor is situated to the south of Boothbay and is […]

  13. Hype for the Future 64D: Lincoln County, Maine (North of Boothbay)

    Introduction Lincoln County, Maine, is located partly at the western end of the Waldo Patent and otherwise in the vicinity of the Atlantic Ocean, bounded by Knox County to the east, Sagadahoc County to the west, Kennebec County to the northwest, and Waldo County to the northeast. The county seat of Lincoln County is the community of Wiscasset, and much of the county is traversed by way of United States Route 1 along the Atlantic Ocean. On the eastern edge of the county is the Town of […]

  14. Hype for the Future 64C: Southern Knox County, Maine

    Introduction To the south of the City of Rockland, the Penobscot Bay gives way to the more open Atlantic Ocean in the relatively more southerly immediate vicinity. With the transition from Rockland to the Atlantic Ocean comes additional islands, particularly the aforementioned island locations, as well as the Saint George Peninsula to the west of the Penobscot Bay. Saint George Peninsula In the southern fringe of the City of Rockland are the Sail Power and Steam Museum and Gallery Fukurou, […]

  15. The flutter of a breeze on the open window as the winds of a familiar ocean and a brand new year wake you up with the dawn...

    Captured one day on Cape Cod by yours truly, "Massachusetts Dreaming".

  16. Imagine waking up on a November morning in Cape Cod, right on the sand, where you can hear the surf and see the clouds, perhaps even the first signs of an impending nor'easter as the leaves rustle about in the wind...

    From Nauset Beach: "Massachusetts Dreaming".

  17. When the water's grey, the air's cold, you're all wiped out...and there's no place on earth you'd rather be. A moment captured in Ereceira, "Surf's Down".

  18. It's not the Pacific, but even as someone who's gone from Cape Flattery to Dana Point, this still rates as one of the beachiest places I've ever stayed in: Nauset Beach. My capture of one November dawn over the Atlantic, "Massachusetts Dreaming".
