Lamp, old schooner or boat running light
Great Cranberry Island Historical Society
Description:
Lamp, old schooner or boat running light found in archives 2016. Wood, thickly layer of green paint with layer of red underneath, clear semi-circular glass lens, two wires running from inside lamp to exterior. Would likely have sat starboard (right) side as the light is painted green. A red light would sit on the dock (left) side so you can see which direction the boat is going even in the dark.
