Illustration of Catherine Moore, keeper of Black Rock Light from 1817-1871. “Our house was forty rods from the lighthouse, and to reach it I had to walk across two planks under which on stormy nights were four feet of water,” said Moore. “It was not easy to stay on those slippery, wet boards with the wind whirling and the spray blinding me." Illustration completed with watercolor on Arches 140 lb. cotton paper. (U.S. Coast Guard illustration by Petty Officer 2nd Class Cory J. Mendenhall)
