I have finally finished writing the trip report for our trip to Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana last May. Sorry for the delay in getting this out. Anyways, it is published here.
December 2, 2007
I have started the long task of adding historical data and lighthouse descriptions to the Wisconsin lighthouses from our trip back in May. To date, I have completed the following:
- Baileys Harbor
- Baileys Harbor Front and Rear Range
- Cana Island
- Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal and North Pierhead
- Sherwood Point
- Eagle Bluff
- Pilot Island
- Plum Island
November 18, 2007
I have added the rest of the lighthouses from our Door County Lighthouse Trip. The lighthouses added are Waukegan Harbor, Grosse Point, Chicago Harbor, and the Chicago Harbor Southeast Guidewall Lighthouses. At this point, all lighthouses and photos from the trip have been added to the site. I now have to go through all entries and add descriptions and history data to each. Therefore, over the next few months, look for content to be added.
November 14, 2007
Added Kenosha Pierhead Lighthouse to the website. I still have more to be added from my trip this past spring. This puts an end to Wisconsin lighthouses. Next will be Illinois.
November 8, 2007
Added Kenosha (Southport) Lighthouse to the site.
November 4, 2007
Added three more Wisconsin lighthouses. The lighthouses added are Wind Point, Racine Harbor, and Racine North Breakwater Lighthouses.
I still have Kenosha and Kenosha Pierhead lighthouses to add before I am done with Wisconsin. Then I will move onto adding the lighthouses in Illinois that I visited.
October 23, 2007
Added the two Milwaukee Lighthouses. They are the Milwaukee Breakwater and Milwaukee Pierhead lighthouses.
September 27, 2007
Added three more Wisconsin lighthouses to the site. They are Port Washington, Port Washington Breakwater, and Kevich lighthouses.

Added several more lighthouses to the site. These include: Two Rivers, Manitowoc Breakwater, and the Sheboygan Breakwater lighthouses.
September 11, 2007
Added Rawley Point Lighthouse into the site. I am still adding the lighthouses that I photographed during the Door County Lighthouse Walk back in May to the site. Look for more to be added in the future.
August 30, 2007
Several new lighthouses have been added since the last entry. They are Pilot Island, Plum Island, Cana Island, Eagle Bluff, Sherwood Point, Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, and Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal North Pierhead Lighthouses. Look for more coming soon.

August 2, 2007
Wisconsin lighthouses continue to get added to the site. The latest additions include Algoma Pierhead, Kewaunee Pierhead, Grassy Island Front and Rear Ranges, as well as all the lighthouses around Lake Winnebago. Please continue to stop back and check up on us. More and more keep getting added. Its going fairly slowly as it is more work than I originally thought. :)
July 12, 2007
I have started adding Wisconsin Lighthouses to the website. I have started adding the lighthouses that are around Lake Winnebago. Look for the Lake Michigan lighthouses coming soon.
June 11, 2007
My wife and I attended the Door County Lighthouse Walk back during May. I have just started to get some of the pictures up on the website. We ended up getting pictures of a lot of the Wisconsin, all of Illinois, and most of the Indiana lighthouses. And on the way back through Ohio, we stopped at the Manhatten Front and Rear Range Lighthouses in Toledo, and also got some updated pictures of the Huron Harbor Lighthouse.
I have started adding the Indiana Lighthouses to the website first. There are only two listed so far, but look for more later this week.
March 19, 2007
Regarding the posting of comments on pictures...It is still enabled. But instead of them being posted immediately, I must now approve them due to spammers. People felt the need to post gibberish for either medicine, or porn....so those comments get deleted before being posted. All legitimate comments are approved and show up within a day.
March 19, 2007
I have been cataloging all of my photos, and have found several that have not made it onto the site. So I have been adding those to the site as I go. Please check the "Whats New?" page to see what pictures have been added.
Another thing I have been doing during the cataloging is rescanning some pictures. Most of the early pictures that I had scanned for the site were too compressed, and therefore lost a lot of clarity. So I am rescanning them.
February 5, 2007
There are several lighthouses that I had bundled under the Dunkirk Lighthouse. Some of the exhibits they have at the maritime museum on the grounds are original lighthouses from the Buffalo area. So I felt a need to break them out as their own pages. They are: the Grand Island Rear Range Lighthouse and the South Buffalo North Side Lighthouse. Another lighthouse that I had included in the Dunkirk Lighthouse page was the Dunkirk Pierhead Light.
I have also added several new pictures under the Dunkirk, Fort Niagara, and Thirty Mile Point Lighthouses.
January 16, 2007
Added several new pictures of the Charlotte-Genesee lighthouse.
I have also added a link to the top rated pictures on the site. Click the Top Ten Pictures link on the upper left-hand corner under Site Navigation.
January 8, 2007
I have added some new functionality to the site. I have set up a system where people can post comments on the pictures on the website. This functionality is in the archive picture viewing area under each lighthouse. To get to this area, you first have to view a lighthouse, and then click on the "View more pictures..." button at the bottom of the page. This will then take you to the archive pictures section. Then just click on any of the photos to get to the viewer where you can leave comments and vote on the pictures.
I just want to set some ground rules for posting comments on the pictures. Please refrain from posting profanity or HTML links in the comments. To make certain that this rule is adhered to, all comments are emailed to me as well as posted to the site. If the comment is found to be offensive or have profanity in it, it will be removed. Also, very little HTML is allowed in the posts. The only tags that are allowed are BOLD and ITALICS. All other HTML code will be stripped out before being posted.
I really hope that people will follow these few simple rules. To help ensure this, I will also log all poster's IP addresses. If I find that one particular IP address is causing problems, I will take actions to block it. If I find that people are continually causing problems, then I will either remove the system, or set it up so that only registered users will be allowed to post comments. I hope that it won't come down to that.
I have also added a new link on the main page of the site. This will show all lighthouses sorted by tower height. Just click on the Listing By Tower Height link on the upper left hand side of the main page.
December 23, 2006
Directions to all lighthouses as well as GPS coordinates are done. The only ones that I could not find were for the two lighthouses in Germany, as well as the one in French Guiana. I am now working on adding more history and detail to the descriptions of the lighthouses. So please bear with me as I attempt to update the almost 300 lighthouses.
December 12, 2006
I have finished adding GPS coordinates and directions for a bunch more states. Recently added are California, Maryland, Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
December 4, 2006
I have began adding GPS coordinates (latitdue and longitude) for each lighthouse as well as directions to them. For the directions, I try to start out from the closest city near the lighthouse and then provide the directions to the light, or the best viewing area(s) for the lighthouse.
As for the GPS coordinates, these are not the exact spot on the earth of the light. Since I decided to only 3 decimal points, the coordinates are approximations. In other words, if you were standing at these points, you should be able to see the tower. So far, I have finished the following states: Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.
November 11, 2006
Added several new Florida lighthouses to the site. Please check out the Amelia Island and Cape Canaveral lighthouses now on the site.
November 8, 2006
Added several new pictures for Roanoke River, St. John's River, and Montauk Point Lighthouses.

Please help support us-lighthouses.com
Do you like this website? Do you find it useful? If so, how would you like to help support it? For years, I have ran this site as a hobby and lighthouse enthusiast. I have provided information, photos, and answered hundreds of questions. I have done all of this on my own time and money. What I would like to do is offset some of my operating costs by selling reprints of the many lighthouse photos that I have taken over the years. I would offer many popular sizes, and sell them at a reasonable price. What I would like to do is guage the interest from you, the site visitors. If this seems like something you would be interested in, please let me know by emailing webmaster @ us-lighthouses.com. I am hoping to make a decision soon, but would like to know the interest level. Thanks.
March 18, 2006
Since I have been adding a ton of new pictures and lighthouses to the website within the last few weeks, I created a new page that will quickly summarize what I have done. It is called the "Latest Lighthouses and Photo Additions Page". This page will show all of the lighthouses and photos that have been added within the last 30 days. If you like / hate / have ideas for improvements, please let me know.

Added the Swiftsure Lightship to the website. It is the last one to be added from my trip to Oregon and Washington in early October of 2005.
I also got the time to add the rest of the pictures of the California lighthouses that I have. So, I have added extra pictures of Alcatraz Island, Santa Cruz, East Brother Island, and Point Montara Lighthouses. I also learned the names of the lighthouses on Angel Island. So I changed my general title of Angel Island Lighthouses to their correct names. So they are listed as Point Stuart and Point Blunt.

January 25, 2006
Towards the end of September of 2005, I had to head to Hillsboro, OR again for work. This time I scheduled a few extra days of vacation and had my wife fly out to meet me. We took some time and went up to Seattle as well as went down the Oregon coast. I haven't had a chance to write this up yet, but did start adding some new photos that I took from the trip.
I have added new Cape Meares and some new Tillamook Rock photos. I took along my 1000mm telephoto lens, so the photos of Tillamook show some close up detail.
May 27, 2005
A trip for work took me out to Hillsboro, OR, where I got to get out to the Oregon / Washington coast. I got to photograph Cape Disappointment, North Head Light, the Columbia Lightship and got to take a few new photos of Tillamook Rock.

Lighthouse Ranking has been enabled.
In an effort to make the website more interactive, I have set it up so that you can rate the lighthouses as well as pictures. So when you visit a lighthouse page, you will see numbers below the lighthouse. These are for the lighthouse, and NOT that picture of the light. So feel free to rank the lights as well. Vote for your favorite light! I have created a TOP TEN Lighthouses page that lists the current standings of the lighthouses. So stop by and take a peek, if you don't agree, get out there and vote.
November 15, 2004
Picture Rating is back!
I have recreated the picture rating application, and it is now online. So as you browse through the picture archives, please feel free to rate the pictures. To get to the picture archives, simply visit any lighthouse page, and click on the "View More Pictures of this Lighthouse" button at the bottom of the page. In fact, you can start rating by clicking on the Cape Hatteras pictures link below.
*On December 1, 2004, I will create a page that lists the Top 20 Lighthouse Pictures on the site. So get out there and start rating the pictures.

Webhosting company allowed the system to become infected with a vulnerability. This resulted in the company taking down the system to rebuild it, only to find out that their back ups didn't work. The entire site was lost.
I was able to recover the site to January of 2003. This resulted in a ton of lost data.
May 23, 2003
