It was the end of a gorgeous day at White Point Beach Lodge on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. The sun was shining down on parts of the white wash and making it glow so pretty that I had to capture a bit of it.

This boat belongs to a good friend of mine who owns a country cottage in my hometown of West Pennant, Nova Scotia, Canada. The title of this piece is the name of his vessel. My friends mother is very important to him and allowed him to have his dream get away so he named his boat in her honour. When he was a child she used to call his wee wee, you guessed it, Gullingo! LOL

Low Head Lighthouse nr George Town, Tasmania. A pilots and a signal station was established at Low Head (Georgetown) in 1805 and is Australia’s oldest continuously used pilot station. Current buildings date from 1838. When a sail was sighted at dusk, a fire was lit and kept burning all night to keep the vessel in touch with the port. After a review of pilotage in 1827 it was resolved to build a lighthouse at Low Head. The tower was built in 1833. It was constructed of local rubble with a coat of stucco to make the structure durable and to provide a worthwhile landmark. The crown was built of freestone from Launceston. The keepers’ quarters consisted of four rooms attached to the base of the tower. The only case of the quarters being attached in any Tasmanian lighthouse. The tower was 15.25 metres from top to bottom. The lantern room was built of timber in Launceston. It had been designed by the then Colonial Architect John Lee Archer who was responsible for the design of many other Tasmanian lights. The original apparatus was provided by a Mr. W Hart of Launceston. He supplied “six dozen lamps, including reflectors, at three shillings and sixpence each”. It is Australia’s third and Tasmania’s second lighthouse built. Conditions were poor on the early Tasmanian lightstations. Low head was no exception, being manned by a superintendent (headkeeper) and two convict assistants who were locked in their quarters overnight. In 1835, the light was upgraded by installation of a revolving shutter which was rotated by a weight-driven clockwork mechanism. In April 1838, the original tin reflectors and Argand lamps were replaced by a new revolving lens array from Wilkins and Co of London, UK. In 1851, the candelas were increased, but no figures are quoted. The 1833 tower was poorly constructed and after 50 years had fallen into a state of disrepair. In 1888, this original convict-built stone tower was pulled down. In the same year it was replaced with the present double brick structure, was designed by Marine Board architect Robert Huckson, with new lantern room and apparatus. The new tower was painted white. The lens apparatus was modernised in 1916 with a more up-to-date Chance Bros. revolving lens using an incandescent kerosene mantle lantern. An auxillary red light to cover Hebe Reef had been installed in 1898. In 1926, a broad red band was painted around the middle of the tower to ensure adequate visibility during daylight hours. In 1940, electricity replaced the old vapourised oil system and mantle, and the clockwork rotating mechanism was replaced by an electric motor. From 1865 to 1912, the light was under the control of Alfred C. Rockwell and his son Alfred Rockwell Jnr, a period of 47 years! This light is now unmanned. link Canon 400D 18-55 IS tonemapped

Re-processing of the original colour shot. This shot of Low Head Lighthouse shows the shed to the left that houses the foghorn which can be seen protruding from the roof. It was decided in the 1920’s to install a Fog Alarm at the Low Head Light Station to warn ships that they were approaching a dangerous shore and to advise them by means of a unique signal that the shore was Low Head. The equipment necessary for this installation was manufactured in Birmingham, England by Chance Bros., the same company who had made the equipment for the Lighthouse and who were the leading makers of marine navigation equipment in the world at the time. The installation was shipped to Tasmania and installed in 1929. The Foghorn was commissioned and operated without fail whenever fog was imminent. The horn was decommissioned in 1973.
