10354. (glass negative) Plum Island Lighthouse, Newburyport, Mass. c.1900. Clear glass plate negative captures nicely the replacement 1898 Plum Island light tower in the background as a group of finely dressed Victorian visitors pose on the sand. Plum Island, a nine-mile long barrier island off the northern coast of Massachusetts. During its nineteenth-century heyday as a resort, steamships and a trolley line serviced Plum Island. The present Plum Island Lighthouse was first lighted on September 20, 1898, probably the third or fourth lighthouse on this site. This photo was likely taken shortly after the station was rebuilt, with a new light tower. Large image measures 5” x 7” and is clear and close. Would provide a clear image. (VG). $42.
