Mispillion, DE

Mispillion Light was originally established in 1831 when construction was authorized to Winslow Lewis for a sum of $1500. In May 2002 , the tragedy stuck the endangered old Mispillion Lighthouse with a bold of lightning. The wood frame structure didn?t stand a chance, as fire quickly spread down the walls of the dilapidated building, virtually ending all hope of the once-proud little sentinel?s being restored to its beautiful? stick-gothic? elegance. Saddened by the fire and loss of the sentinel that Lighthouse Digest called ?the most endangered lighthouse in America,? the damaged building had more visitors in a few days than it had in many years. Mispillion Light was lost just before it could be saved and the beloved lighthouse was moved to the ?Lost Lighthouses? list. we honor this lost beacon with our rendition, as we pay tribute to the sentinel and the legacy. *Limited edition of 4000 *Size: 6 x 6? *Introduced Jan 2004
