Disappearing Lighthouse. My son, Thatcher, is named after Thacher’s Island and its twin lighthouses. Click this link to watch a short video I took showing how one lighthouse disappears behind the other to give sailors, navigators, and fishermen true north or true south as they find their way up the coastline. The history of Thacher’s Island is pretty cool if you ever have time to read up on it. I’ve provided a couple of links where you can learn more. One historical tidbit that I always find interesting is that Thacher Island and its lighthouses have been credited with saving many lives…including notably, President Woodrow Wilson.
