The small strip of land in the distance
is approximately the location of the
original lighthouse, the southern tip of
Long Beach Island, New Jersey
The original spot has now eroded away
into the Atlantic Ocean
This replica of the original is situated in
Tuckerton, NJ
approximately six miles west of the
original site.
Paul Rider, nephew of the keeper, Arthur Rider
spent the last night in the old lighthouse.
He took this series of photos the next day,
October 12 1927,
as the structure surrendered to the sea.
