Illustration of Catherine Moore, keeper of Black Rock Light from 1817-1871. “On calm nights I slept at home, dressed in a suit of boy’s clothes, my lighted lantern hanging at my headboard and my face turned so that I could see shining on the wall the light from the tower and know if anything had happened,” said Moore in an 1889 interview with New York Sunday World. Illustration completed in watercolor on Arches 140 lb. cotton paper. (U.S. Coast Guard illustration by Petty Officer 2nd Class Cory J. Mendenhall)
