13456a. (photo) Captain Ole Anderson, Principal Keeper (1906—1928), Highlands of Navesink Twin Lights, New Jersey c.1929. Clear, close, original 6” x 8 ½” press photo shows excellent detail of Keeper Ole Anderson, 65, who is retiring after 35 years as a lighthouse keeper. Most recently he had been keeper at the Navesink Twin Lights. In retirement he chose to live near his former station – just so he will not “miss the inspiration of the beacon”. He began his life as a sailor on square riggers and had a master’s license to sail vessels “on any ocean”. Wonderful photo of the inspirational gentleman. Photo is b/w and includes date and description on back. Dated March 26, 1929. (VG+). $56.
