Donation of Bourissau Photos

Thanks to a donation from Sandy Hingston we have several additional historical items to add to our archives for Head Keeper Lewis Bourissau, who served from 1891- 1915. Bourissau was our longest serving head keeper and was responsible for implementing significant improvements to the station including the addition of the steam fog signal, the conversion from lard oil to the cleaner and brighter burning kerosene and the brick, two-story, three-apartment keeper’s quarters.

Above are photos in this recent contribution.

We are always looking to enhance our collections and make more information about our keepers available to the public. If you have photos and information about the station or keepers, please get in touch with us at southfoxisland@gmail.com
