Lighthouses for sale??

[bassnblues]

Recently there's been talk and postings about different lighthouses going up for sale. I think Romer Shoals and Great Beds are the latest.

Can someone explain this to me?.  What are you buying? What can you do with it? What need would anyone have for a structure in the middle of the water?

Sorry but I just don't get it.

I know some dude bought a island in new york recently. Pretty cheap i heard.

 As for the light houses i heard there tryin to sell it to educational or maritime facilities. This way they still get used and cleaned up at the same time. I dont know if the romers is for sale??? I would have to think not. Just to much work to get a dock build there and mantaine it..

I do like the fact that they want to sell them to certain places only, to keep the history of the lighthouse goin...Many have forgotten how much of a roll those lighthouses played back in the day,some still do! Ill lookfor the story i read and post  it here.......

i think you could make a b&b out of great beds, but romer's would be tuff b/c they require the foghorn to remain operational and maintained by the cg....

it would suck to be sitting back with a snifter and a seegar, or even worse sleepin it off, only to be interrupted by
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 perhaps a seasonal reastaurant where you'd ferry your guests out there or they could dock and dine....

it's likely both lights will need work and/or are superfund sites, however, cuz we all know how well our gov't maintains things and takes responsibility for their actions.....

I think it wood be awesome living out there. There's a house down in mantoloking thats in the water you can only get there by boat..  That was a long time ago i think in the mid 90's. i dont know if its still there? It was where the old statewide marine services and d&r boats is.....

I think rod should buy it and put the njswf head quarters there. Also put cow nets around it for free bait and sink a bunch of cars around it for toggies.

Maybe WalMart will try to buy all of them and then put them OFF limits to fish.Then buy the land under the sea that surrounds them and tell us that too  is OFF Limits.   

Thanks for allowing  me vent!!!!

Still seems like a collosal waste of money to me but I guess there's a market for anything.

If money is no object, Nice things can be made out of the lighthouse.
