Let it shine!
This fresnel lens originally was imported from France with an oil burning lantern. Oil had to be replenished every 2 days from the oil room. Today it's automated with a flashing light every 2 seconds (twice) then dark for 14 seconds (repeat). With this lense it can seen by ships some 24 miles out...fascinating!
