New Home for the Coasties

Just a quick pic of the new Coast Guard Station under construction in Iron Harbor. I was a little concerned when I first heard about this $5 million project, but now that I can see exactly where it's going, I am considerably relieved. It's where the lower harbor breakwall ends, close to the existing Coast Guard boathouse, so it makes sense for it be relocated there. And my friends at the Maritime Museum here are excited, because it means that when the project is completed, the landmark old red lighthouse is going to be deeded over to them. It'll mean a major expansion of their programming - they have all kinds of ambition ideas and plans for its use!
