The Back Story:
Loggerhead Key
The Loggerhead Key Lighthouse is the last lighthouse seen by ships headed into the Gulf of Mexico from Key West, FL. It was built in 1858. The National Parks Service maintains the lighthouse and the buildings that surround it. The light is an active aid to navigation and, as such, is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. The light was automated in 1988 and is powered by solar power.
About The Artist: Paul M. Bradley Jr., an architect by profession, began drawing lighthouses after a New England vacation sparked his interest in the structures. His drawings appear quarterly in the Keeper’s Log a
publication of the U.S. Lighthouse Society (www.uslhs.org).
