1223. (copy photo) Coney Island Light Station, Keeper Frank Schubert checks the lens c.1961. Crystal clear b/w copy photo shows Keeper Schubert, last civilian keeper at Coney Island Light Station. Keeper Schubert began his lighthouse career in 1938 aboard the buoy tender Tulip. He followed that with time at the offshore Old Orchard Lighthouse, and then was assigned to the Army Transportation Service during World War II. After the war, he served as the keeper of three lights at Governors Island. While stationed there, his wife, Marie, and their three children lived on Staten Island. In 1960, Schubert accepted an assignment to the Coney Island Light as his family would finally be able to live with him at the station to which he was assigned. When interviewed by New York Times reporter, Mrs. Shubert explained “We’ve gone from one extreme to another. We never used to see Frank. Now he never leaves home.” Keeper Shubert’s duties included tending the light and the 1,000-pound fog bell. When he could no longer see Hoffman and Swinburne Islands, he would turn the bell on. In an emergency, or if the power went out, Schubert said that the fog bell could be hit “with a sledgehammer.” Schubert’s wife passed away in the late 1980s. When the station was automated in 1989, he was allowed to stay on as a caretaker, continuing to climb the 87 steps to the lantern every day to perform required maintenance duties. During his years of service, Shubert was credited with saving the lives of fifteen sailors and was invited for a visit to the White House by President George H. W. Bush. He and his dog, Blazer, remained on duty until December 11 of 2003, when Schubert passed away at the age of 88 as the last of the Coast Guard’s civilian lighthouse keepers. His lighthouse career had lasted 65 years, including the final 43 years at Coney Island Lighthouse. "The Coast Guard mourns the loss of its most courageous sentry of the sea," said Capt. Craig T. Bone, commander of Coast Guard Activities New York. "His devotion to duty and courage are unequaled." Image from World Telegram & Sun by Roger Higgins. Published June 12, 1961. 8” x 10” digital image. Clear, crisp. (F-). $20.

1222. (copy photo) Robbins Reef Light Station, Keepers Enjoy a Meal c.1945. Just off the northern tip of Staten Island, a small ridge of sand was named Robyn's Rift. Later Anglicized to Robbin's Reef, the reef is situated near the entrance to Kill van Kull channel, a three-mile-long waterway linking Upper New York Bay to Newark Bay, home of the busiest port in the eastern United States. To mark this hazard, the brown and white cast iron “sparkplug style” light tower and integral keepers quarters was built in 1883 to replace an octagonal granite tower built in 1839. Shown here in this superb digital copy of a World Telegram photo, are Coast Guard Keepers Ralph Rexinger and Joaquim H. Brito beginning to eat while Olaf Anderson dishes food from the coal stove. Superb view shows all aspects of the interior living space – rarely seen. Interesting is the center lighthouse support which serves as a flue for the stove as well. 8” x 10” digital image, dates from November 1, 1945 by photographer Dick DeMarsico. Clear, crisp, only two cropping marks. (VG+). $20.

27393. (photo) Robbins Reef lighthouse, New York c.1950. Robbins Reef lighthouse is on  the West Side Main Channel in Upper New York Bay. In 1839, the first lighthouse to mark this navigational hazard was constructed: an octagonal stone tower, painted white, that stood atop a stone base. In 1883 this four-story, iron “sparkplug” tower was erected. The bottom story served as a kitchen and dining room, and was originally encircled by a partially enclosed porch. A pair of bedrooms was located on the second floor. To give the tower a distinctive marking, the top half was painted white and the bottom portion brown. The brown and white cylindrical lighthouse stands as monument to the lady who "kept the good light" for over 30 years. Her name was Kate Walker and the captains in the harbor affectionately refer to Robbin's Reef as "Kate's Light". Kate was respected by all for her courage and stamina. She could be seen rowing her children to school each day on Staten Island and is responsible for saving many a stranded boater. Unusually close, clear view measures 7 ½” x 9 ½”. (VG). $42.

9404. (stereoview) Stony Point Lighthouse, Hudson River, New York c.1890. In 1826, the first and oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River was constructed at historic Stony Point to mark the entrance to the Hudson Highlands. The completion of the Erie Canal the previous year, which linked New York City to America's heartland, increased traffic on the Hudson River dramatically, and the need for navigational aids was paramount. The 30-foot-tall octagonal Stony Point Lighthouse, built of blue split stone, was constructed by Thomas Phillips of New York City, at a cost of $3,350. The tower has three stories and a basement, originally used to store whale oil. In October, 1995, the lighthouse was restored, relighted, and re-opened to the public for the first time since 1925, when it was decommissioned after having served for nearly one hundred years. View is close and fairly clear, providing an unprecedented view of the early light tower. View has moderate wear, with two corners of mount broken, light foxing, emulsion worn on one side. (G). $24.

McLintock-Hubbard’s childhood days at three lighthouses will captivate your imagination while it draws you back in time, to an amazing way of life that can never again be repeated in the annals of history.

You will be captivated as you read the pages of the home-spun recollections from the days of yesteryear as seen through the eyes of a child and now remembered many years later in life. As well as preserving lighthouse history for future generations. Dory of the Lighthouse will be loved by everyone; a book that will be read over and over and treasured through the ages.

1134. Field, Van. MAYDAY! Shipwrecks, Tragedies & Tales from Long Island’s Eastern Shore. Charleston. 2008. 96p. Soft wraps. Since the mid-1600's, eastern Long Island's shoals, sandbars and assorted submerged hazards have caused many an unlucky vessel to become shipwrecked. The frequency of wrecks rose to a grim crescendo during the mid-nineteenth century as New York and New England peaked as shipping centers. Then came the dawn of the twentieth century and the arrival of advanced navigational aids. Although the number of wrecks declined, the high drama persisted as rumrunners and German submarines kept the coast humming with rumors and anticipation. In MAYDAY!, author Van R. Field painstakingly assembles a compendium of Long Island's most harrowing, amazing and notorious shipwrecks and ocean-going incidents. (M). Pub $17.99. Our price $14.99.
