Re: South End Lighthouse
Does the lighthouse belong to anybody or is it property of the island. I know sometime ago it belonged to a relative of mine.

"After being leased to four individuals and having served as a hunting lodge for a time, the decommissioned lighthouse was declared surplus property in December 1972."
