Nationals Archives - Plans
In an effort to find out what plans and drawings may be available for the Craighill Range lighthouses online before trying to run up to College Park, MD during my “lunch hour” one day, I came across the following drawing in the file. Wow, the detail on the old keeper’s quarters of the lower range rear light (Millers Island light) is fantastic! I love the old sail boats in the drawing as well. What makes me nervous is there is only one file relating to the Craighill ranges titled Lighthouse Plans for Craighill Channel, Maryland which holds “Extent: 3 drawings” (this photo being one of them). Considering four lighthouses comprise the Craighill Channel, which plans are in those other two drawings? Yikes. I have sent an email asking, but not heard back. I guess Monday I’ll just drive up there and find out.
