We got two digital first one's passport level 27 00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:13,540 It's 25 per year. You get a passport book to collect all your stamps in 28 00:02:13,540 --> 00:02:20,580 And you also get access to various stamps like holiday stamps the yearly stamps and half off collectible stamps 29 00:02:20,980 --> 00:02:23,540 Which I haven't done yet, but I made it this year 30 00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:27,780 You also get the stamp flashes newsletter for any stamp related news 31 00:02:27,860 --> 00:02:34,020 Which is basically like if they change the location of where you get the stamp for a lighthouse then they'll put it in a newsletter 32 00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:37,620 Oh cool and update their website and this is a new thing 33 00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:42,180 I'm not sure if you know about this, but you signed up more recently than I have so you might have noticed it 34 00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:46,020 But uh, it's called the lighthouse enthusiast community 35 00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:52,420 It's like a uh, I want to i'm not trying to insult it. It's like a chat social 36 00:02:53,220 --> 00:02:54,820 Kind of social forum 37 00:02:54,820 --> 00:03:02,660 So it's like a platform where you can plan your trips keep track of lighthouse visits and compare your totals photos and notes with other 38 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,700 Participants it's like the original facebook wall 39 00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:09,620 Yeah, but it's like you keep track of all the lighthouses you've been to and then 40 00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:15,060 So like you can say okay. I went to lighthouses in maryland and you click maryland click the lighthouse 41 00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:22,740 And then you can add photos what dates you were there how many times you've been like stuff like that and uh, it's super cool. So 42 00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:28,500 Unfortunately, they don't have all the lighthouses. You know, it's like it's only if they're basically if there's a stamp for it 43 00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:30,500 Then there is probably on this list. Yeah 44 00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:37,780 So like the Milliken State Park one in Detroit that one is not on uh, this list 45 00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,820 This list so I don't get to count that I went to Milliken State Park 46 00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:46,020 And now i'm like, oh bummer or like nomizaki in japan. Of course, it's not gonna be on there 47 00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:53,700 But they do have some international lights like British Columbia the uk there's some you know, just like a couple select 48 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,620 Lighthouses when I input what lighthouses I had been to 49 00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:00,180 I'm ranked 50 00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:01,860 485th 51 00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:03,540 That's pretty good 52 00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:08,420 That's pretty good, but that's the people who participate in the community. So those are pretty hefty 53 00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:14,020 I mean, I I filled out seven lighthouses on there. So that's pretty it's a pretty hefty amount of people on there 54 00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:16,900 You may have to show me because like so when I signed up 55 00:04:16,980 --> 00:04:19,620 I know we got more to say but when I signed up there was um 56 00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:26,900 There's so much. Yeah, because I signed up for the we're gonna get to the keeper membership. So I I was able to encompass 57 00:04:27,780 --> 00:04:29,780 All of those kind of hatching 58 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,860 memberships 59 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:34,420 There's a lot I was excited the most about my patch 60 00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:39,300 Well, I didn't even know about this until I started doing this history building and I was like what the heck is this? 61 00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:44,900 And it's pretty new it sounds like um, I don't know at least new to you new to me. I just found out about it 62 00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:50,660 It's cool. It's under the resources tab on uslhs.org is for people who want to check it out 63 00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:56,420 Um, and you have to like create a password and a login in order to get in but other than that there's uh, 64 00:04:57,140 --> 00:04:58,980 Nothing else to do. Cool 65 00:04:58,980 --> 00:05:03,300 Pretty neat and so our second digital membership is the ekeeper level 66 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:09,700 $35 per year. It has all the passport perks plus access to a bulletin newsletter and 67 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,540 10% off uslhs merch nice. It's pretty good.

It's just like the logo. It's very tasteful. You bought the hat as well 75 00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,300 Should we have gotten a discount? 76 00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:55,780 Yeah, but I we didn't enter it. No, and we're supporting lighthouses.

Super cool 98 00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:49,940 Yeah, they've done a great job with this program. They have and it's so much fun 99 00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:53,700 Like I I love to be a part of it. I have questions now a good time 100 00:07:54,180 --> 00:07:58,900 Sure, and you may not remember but okay, so i'm a keeper level membership 101 00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:04,980 Um, that's what I felt I could I could pay right now year to year and keep it going which I would like to do 102 00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:08,020 Um rather than sign up and then you know, let it lapse 103 00:08:08,660 --> 00:08:10,740 so um 104 00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:13,860 You mentioned starting with the passport membership 105 00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:19,620 The passport program which we've talked about before. Yeah, I have not received my passport 106 00:08:20,260 --> 00:08:23,620 Is that in error or do I need to go request it from somewhere? Do you know that? 107 00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:30,020 That's interesting. I'm trying to remember how I ended up with my passport because I don't think when I signed up the first time 108 00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:35,140 That I got the passport in the mail. I must admit I didn't do all the work 109 00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:37,540 I should have done in reading and yeah 110 00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:41,380 I'm trying to remember I was a little bit overwhelmed when I signed up with all the things that I got 111 00:08:41,540 --> 00:08:45,060 Yeah, which is great. I remember I got a letter. That was nice. I got my patch 112 00:08:45,860 --> 00:08:47,540 um, but 113 00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:50,100 I gotta look into my passport because i'd like it before we go on our 114 00:08:50,660 --> 00:08:57,140 Trips definitely. Yeah. Well cool. So yeah, that's the membership tiers. Um, it's pretty rewarding especially for people like us who 115 00:08:57,940 --> 00:08:59,940 Use their digital archives a lot. So 116 00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:05,140 It makes sense for us to give back to the people that are oh, yeah, they do a fantastic job, right? 117 00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:10,820 The uh, the big one the illumination membership is tempting to me because I think that's the coolest patch 118 00:09:11,060 --> 00:09:13,860 Yeah, is it the colors? I like the color 119 00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:19,060 I mean, I like the yellow and blue of both keeper and beacon as well. Yeah. Well and ekeeper 120 00:09:19,620 --> 00:09:20,660 but 121 00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:26,180 Illumination. Oh, that's like the bold text and the frontal lens. I don't know 122 00:09:27,060 --> 00:09:32,100 It's cool for now. Gosh, I'm still doing that. I wonder why you're looking at me like that 123 00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:37,140 I started second guessing myself and I was like, it's gotta be front now folks 124 00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:39,860 But it's a cool patch and 125 00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:46,020 I really wanted a hat and shirt. Yeah. Now do I need a new one every year? Of course, absolutely 126 00:09:47,060 --> 00:09:52,740 I mean say you can't say no, it's so yeah for the moment. I haven't I haven't swung for the the price yet 127 00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,580 Right, but I think it's it's great that it's out there. There's probably a lot of people who can do that 128 00:09:56,580 --> 00:09:59,060 And I think that's wonderful. Yeah, one of these days 129 00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:04,180 I mean every year so far i've been upping my membership. So and if they keep the same patch, I think 130 00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:08,260 So far the patches have been different every year for me that i've been 131 00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:14,020 Signed up and so if the prism patch is the same next year then 132 00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:16,660 I'm just gonna do it 133 00:10:16,660 --> 00:10:17,300 Just do it 134 00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:22,020 Cool. So i'm gonna jump in our lighthouse vince. This one is recognizable to you 135 00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:26,340 You and I went and saw this lighthouse by happenstance in the outer banks 136 00:10:26,340 --> 00:10:29,380 Just the funsies. We had a little bit of free time and I was like, hey 137 00:10:29,860 --> 00:10:34,100 There's this other lighthouse on the map. That's not like part of our plan. I'm so excited. I think I know what it is 138 00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:40,580 Yeah, so we went and this was also when we went to like a cool distillery that was nearby. Yeah, so much fun nowadays 139 00:10:41,540 --> 00:10:45,540 This lighthouse you can only see a replica of the original 140 00:10:46,180 --> 00:10:51,380 The original is gonzo. Really? Yeah, so what we saw was the replica which was built in 2004 141 00:10:51,380 --> 00:10:56,500 Four different lighthouses have carried the name roanoke marshes lighthouse at the 142 00:10:57,140 --> 00:11:01,860 Croaton sound in north carolina. So we're gonna cover all four and that includes the replica 143 00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:04,500 the what sound 144 00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:05,620 croatin 145 00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:07,380 Croatian?

You haven't heard a lot of words. You know what? 149 00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:21,300 That is true 150 00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:25,540 So before you go further this image is also on 151 00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:33,060 Our youtube page it is our cover banner image so check us out on youtube. That's right photo you took. Yep 152 00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:39,220 And uh, oh yeah, look at that pull up a nice photo of us in front of the lighthouse couple of handsome kids 153 00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:43,140 At the end of a really long pier like it was so fun to just kind of stumble upon 154 00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:47,780 I was on my knee scooter. So we had to kind of get over a hill. Yep. We parked in a weird spot 155 00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:49,780 It was a whole adventure 156 00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:54,740 We saw a sailboat who went and it went right by the lighthouse. Yeah, i've got good photos 157 00:11:54,740 --> 00:11:58,820 I will put in the effort now as we continue to talk to show those 158 00:11:59,140 --> 00:12:03,620 Yeah photos that I took that day kind of fun. Yeah, because I I wanted to see um 159 00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:08,180 Find the ones of the sailboat and everything but I couldn't find them on your facebook. Yeah, they're uh, 160 00:12:08,180 --> 00:12:13,140 They're not all posted. There were so many photos that I didn't post them all. This is a nice one of us 161 00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:16,420 Yeah, we just missed the museum hours. So we didn't get to go inside 162 00:12:16,660 --> 00:12:21,540 We wondered why everyone cleared out from the pier right as we showed up. It was like everyone trickled out 163 00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:27,300 We're like what's going on and we missed it by like 30 minutes. It was cool though. I mean, yeah to see it basically on our own 164 00:12:27,860 --> 00:12:32,580 We didn't go inside but and I don't want to step on your content but here in the windows 165 00:12:32,580 --> 00:12:34,100 It's a nice photo 166 00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:39,700 I think there's a bell I have a close-up photo. I think the bell's right there actually either way 167 00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:43,540 The first lighthouse went into service in 1831. So it's pretty early 168 00:12:43,540 --> 00:12:49,620 It was abandoned after only eight years for two reasons first one being that it needed extensive repairs 169 00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:51,620 So they were just like we're done with it 170 00:12:52,420 --> 00:12:57,300 And second is because a man was abandoned after only eight years for two reasons 171 00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:01,300 First one being that it needed extensive repairs. So they were just like we're done with it 172 00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:03,620 And second is because a man 173 00:13:04,260 --> 00:13:08,660 Mr. Van Pelt claimed he owned the land after this eight years 174 00:13:09,380 --> 00:13:15,700 And demanded a ridiculous sum of money for it. So instead of going through that whole debacle they were just like, you know what? 175 00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:21,860 I can just end it. I bet that's a whole deal. Yeah, let me pull up a map the land 176 00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:28,500 You'll have to get to the land because right now it's on a pier. Yeah, so we were on an island there 177 00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:31,220 There was bridges that went from either side 178 00:13:31,940 --> 00:13:38,020 For me the memory was fuzzy of like which direction we had to go to get there because we went to the outer banks and then 179 00:13:38,340 --> 00:13:42,340 Turned around and went back to roanoke island, which is what this is on. It's that distillery 180 00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:46,100 Let's see if I can find the name outer banks distilling if you're in that area. It's pretty cool 181 00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:49,460 Outer banks distilling. I seem to remember we really liked our cocktails there 182 00:13:49,780 --> 00:13:56,500 They were delicious like rum based old-fashioned in long island or something like that kill devil rum. Right? That's a good day 183 00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:58,500 Okay, so 184 00:13:58,580 --> 00:14:05,300 I pulled up roanoke island. You can see outer banks off to the side. There's the croatian sound and roanoke sound 185 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,980 Mantio, I think is how it's pronounced and tail maybe 186 00:14:09,860 --> 00:14:14,900 I totally made that up and I don't know I I have it later, but I it won't let me scroll through my notes 187 00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:18,660 So that's where the lighthouse is now, but the original one was built 188 00:14:19,780 --> 00:14:24,900 At the very southern part of roanoke island against the croatian sound 189 00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:27,380 Oh in when cheese or whatever that is 190 00:14:28,180 --> 00:14:30,020 How do you think that's pronounced? 191 00:14:30,020 --> 00:14:31,860 when when kz 192 00:14:31,860 --> 00:14:33,860 What? 193 00:14:33,860 --> 00:14:36,260 I love i'm we're gonna have so much fun. We find out 194 00:14:37,060 --> 00:14:40,820 I know how to look it up one kz one kz 195 00:14:41,460 --> 00:14:42,660 when kz 196 00:14:42,660 --> 00:14:44,020 uh 197 00:14:44,020 --> 00:14:46,020 when chesie 198 00:14:46,580 --> 00:14:51,380 I'm like when cheese one one chesie one chesie when chesie 199 00:14:51,380 --> 00:14:53,860 That's my uh my guess 200 00:14:57,540 --> 00:15:01,540 When cheese when she's is what it says you're messing with me 201 00:15:04,660 --> 00:15:10,020 All right when cheese when cheese now, what is this isn't this one of our lighthouses that we saw before is that with this marker 202 00:15:10,020 --> 00:15:15,620 On google maps is uh, yes, so that's a body island. Oh cool. Yeah, so it's right up next to it 203 00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:23,860 That whole when cheese area is very marshy and that's how we got roanoke marshes because there's also a roanoke river lighthouse 204 00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:27,780 So not to be confused with that. Okay, so we had so i'm sorry 205 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,640 Mantio or menteo. Yeah 206 00:15:30,660 --> 00:15:32,660 Uh is the current location? 207 00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:34,900 Manteo 208 00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:38,100 Manteo, I was just so wrong. Manteo sounds like a place though, doesn't it? 209 00:15:39,060 --> 00:15:41,060 I mean you can call it that if you want 210 00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:44,200 It's probably got a nice uh, manteo 211 00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:47,620 Franyl lens there franelle 212 00:15:48,980 --> 00:15:50,980 You got me so down 213 00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:54,340 When cheese yeah, I think you're messing with me down 214 00:15:54,340 --> 00:15:59,540 You're gonna record me and use ai to repeat that forever down in when cheese was the original location 215 00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:06,100 I'm gonna replace our um podcast intro song with you saying when cheese when cheese like a foghorn 216 00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:08,500 Manteo 217 00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:09,700 All right 218 00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:15,700 All right. So now so it's been relocated or the the model. How does that work? 219 00:16:15,780 --> 00:16:18,580 Was it a replica that was relocated the original was relocated? 220 00:16:19,220 --> 00:16:21,220 Why you ask me i'm gonna tell you later. Oh 221 00:16:21,860 --> 00:16:26,920 But i'm just saying that the original actually the first three lighthouses 222 00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:29,300 were in wanchese 223 00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:35,060 At the south part and then the replica was built in manteo and i'll tell you why so 224 00:16:35,780 --> 00:16:37,780 We've already gone through the first one first one's done 225 00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:39,780 second one 226 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,620 1853 a petition was sent to the lighthouse board saying they needed a new roanoke marshes light 227 00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:50,500 Because the land where the original light was now being sold for a cheaper price 228 00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:53,220 So they're like, hey this guy's finally 229 00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:55,540 Got some sense 230 00:16:55,540 --> 00:16:57,540 So we should buy it 231 00:16:58,180 --> 00:17:04,340 So congress set aside ten thousand dollars to build it in 1854, but it wasn't finished until 1858 232 00:17:04,340 --> 00:17:09,700 I can't really I don't really know why just delays. It's not too long. It's four years solid 233 00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:16,340 Is that normal in the construction in lighthouse world? It seems like it's not that long. We've told some stories where it's taken 234 00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:22,180 A long time. I always go over budget always takes longer than they thought. Yeah, so anyway 235 00:17:23,540 --> 00:17:25,460 That one so the second one 236 00:17:25,460 --> 00:17:27,460 I couldn't find what the first one looked like 237 00:17:27,620 --> 00:17:32,980 The second one was octagonal with a lantern room on top attached to the seabed by seven piles 238 00:17:32,980 --> 00:17:35,860 But it was like marshy land. So it was like pretty shallow water 239 00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:39,620 And I also had a fourth order lens with a fixed white light 240 00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:45,620 So it was taken out of service by the confederates during the civil war but reinstated in 241 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,220 1863 but within 10 years the marsh land underneath the lighthouse had like washed away 242 00:17:51,460 --> 00:17:54,180 Like exposing more and more of the the piles that it was on 243 00:17:54,820 --> 00:17:57,700 At that point it was like in 10 feet of water and so they were like 244 00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:01,780 We need to either fix this or build a new one 245 00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:06,980 But the support piles were surrounded by like cast iron where they were originally in the water 246 00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:13,380 But because the water level changes and like corrosion the wood was now totally exposed and had like shipworm 247 00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:15,860 Oh, no. Yeah 248 00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:22,820 So they were totally compromised. So they added a trio of copper piles at each corner of the lighthouse, which it was an octagon 249 00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:25,300 So like that's a ton of copper 250 00:18:26,420 --> 00:18:30,900 Yeah, but to fix all the damage would have been more expensive than a new lighthouse at that point 251 00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:35,220 so congress set aside fifteen thousand dollars for a new lighthouse and 252 00:18:35,860 --> 00:18:41,940 The difficulty of building at the current location meant that they had to wait for another five thousand dollars to come 253 00:18:42,420 --> 00:18:48,100 A year later in 1876 before they could start construction. So just more expensive than they anticipated 254 00:18:48,820 --> 00:18:54,020 So this is a pulled up picture of the third lighthouse. So a year after that 1877 the third 255 00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:56,660 Roanoke marshes lighthouse was built 256 00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:59,300 I like kind of like the boat. That's so cool. Yeah 257 00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:02,740 So at this point, this is what you call like originally when I first saw it 258 00:19:02,740 --> 00:19:06,340 I was like, oh, it's an integral lighthouse, but it's actually called a screw pile lighthouse 259 00:19:06,340 --> 00:19:09,940 Which is not one that we covered in our lighthouse types 260 00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:10,820 No 261 00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:15,300 So it's just because it's on screw piles that go into the 262 00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:21,060 Seabed and so it's called a screw pile lighthouse and i'm sure there's like other things about it that make it different than 263 00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:27,460 Just a lighthouse on piles. So the structure itself is what makes it. It's not the shape of the building 264 00:19:27,460 --> 00:19:31,780 No, the structure is screw pile and screw piles 265 00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:38,340 Screw into the bed. I would think so. They're put in I didn't look too deep into this could be really interesting 266 00:19:38,580 --> 00:19:43,780 Yeah, i'll have to though because I left it out of our lighthouse types. There's one I think 267 00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:45,220 um 268 00:19:45,220 --> 00:19:48,260 The us LHS has a really close relationship with 269 00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:53,380 That's a similar style. I don't know if it's screw piles. Oh, yes. I know which one you're talking about 270 00:19:53,460 --> 00:19:56,260 It's also kind of like a hexagon or something, right? 271 00:19:56,260 --> 00:20:00,980 I know which one you're talking about and it's like in a river or sound or something 272 00:20:01,380 --> 00:20:04,980 Yes, it was part of the auction that they did for lighthouse business 273 00:20:04,980 --> 00:20:08,420 I really wanted it, but it was like said it was for one night 274 00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:13,620 It was worth like 500 something and somebody bid a thousand dollars right away. So nobody else touched it 275 00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:15,940 Like dang it 276 00:20:15,940 --> 00:20:22,020 And if you look at this picture, you can see it's exactly like the lighthouse that we went and visited that just happens to be 277 00:20:22,660 --> 00:20:24,660 Yeah, there ain't no pier 278 00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:29,140 Where's a pier? There ain't no bridge going out there. It's a whole bunch of screw piles 279 00:20:33,780 --> 00:20:35,220 So anyway 280 00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:41,540 The third lighthouse which you can see a replica of today is white and it's like a square dwelling with a light on top 281 00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:44,580 Supported by seven screw screw piles 282 00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:51,220 The fog bell boats and fourth order lens were brought over from the old light and then that one was dismantled 283 00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:55,620 So okay. So anytime there's a roanoke marshes lighthouse like a new one that's replaced 284 00:20:55,620 --> 00:21:01,700 You know how like in a lot of instances they build a new lighthouse and then the other ones just left there falls away 285 00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:06,180 Yeah. Yeah, like the three sisters one where they just fall into the ocean eventually 286 00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:09,220 Took care of that 287 00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:10,820 recycled yeah 288 00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:14,820 So so far there's only been one at a time, which is nice 289 00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:20,580 Yeah, they probably find something to do with the other pieces and so that you said they brought over the bell. That's really bell 290 00:21:20,580 --> 00:21:28,020 Yeah, the bell the boats and the lens now the the boats we did see they're inside weren't they I forgot about there 291 00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:33,380 Yeah, I wonder if it's supposed to be like what they have shown in this photo. And of course the lens that's really neat 292 00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:35,380 Yeah, of course cool 293 00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:37,940 1886 so less than 10 years later 294 00:21:37,940 --> 00:21:43,220 The light was changed to fixed red for instead of a fixed white and then five years after that 295 00:21:43,220 --> 00:21:50,900 They changed it to a sector light so refer to episode 36 for our section sector light 296 00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:56,980 Characteristic blah blah blah and sectors are pretty cool. I messed up the sentence. I wanted to say blah blah blah blah blah 297 00:21:56,980 --> 00:21:58,980 What what episode is that? 298 00:21:59,780 --> 00:22:05,460 36 um, but okay. That was what I asked. Okay. I've forgotten what number you just said 299 00:22:07,620 --> 00:22:09,860 It's after work listen if 300 00:22:09,860 --> 00:22:17,620 Anyone listening to the podcast is like me. They said yep. It's in an episode. She said the number I don't like could it could have been 301 00:22:17,620 --> 00:22:19,620 It could be anything. Yeah 302 00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:26,740 It doesn't reflect like on our relationship though. You listen to me pretty well, right? Sometimes we talk about episodes and there's a lot of 303 00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:33,860 The red sector that was part of this new light characteristic 304 00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:38,420 highlighted some of the dangerous areas areas in the crowet and sound and 305 00:22:38,420 --> 00:22:41,980 And they did this by installing red glass panels in the lantern room 306 00:22:41,980 --> 00:22:48,220 So I think that was like in the past we've seen that they just put like a frame like a metal frame 307 00:22:48,460 --> 00:22:52,300 Inside the lantern room, but it would need to be fixed there 308 00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:56,420 So maybe like screw it into the floor or something and then there's a glass panel inside 309 00:22:56,420 --> 00:23:03,660 So anytime the light flashes or if there's light, right? Yeah surrounds the it's not like it because at first I read that like they replaced 310 00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:10,660 Pan prisms. Oh, and I was like that would be way too expensive when they could just put up a panel like an actual panel 311 00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:15,140 So then I was thinking like oh, maybe they replaced a panel of the actual lantern room with red 312 00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:20,620 But it would be easier for them to just do a surround a piece of glass. Yeah, and then just nail it in the floor 313 00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:24,460 Yeah, so anyway, I don't have the details about exactly how they did that but 314 00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:29,140 You're probably right question. Yes the sectors. I 315 00:23:30,180 --> 00:23:32,180 when we looked at sector 316 00:23:32,180 --> 00:23:34,180 flash patterns light patterns 317 00:23:34,940 --> 00:23:39,740 You know, it was red clear and then green or red clear red or right? 318 00:23:39,740 --> 00:23:46,620 It had multiple options to help direct sailors. Yeah, right. Yeah. So in this is there a way that 319 00:23:47,220 --> 00:23:49,220 boats chips 320 00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:52,380 dinghies would come into the 321 00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:56,900 Sound the sound so they stay on that line 322 00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:02,140 I think it wasn't difficult to get into or out of the sound and so it wasn't like 323 00:24:03,060 --> 00:24:10,260 It was warning of like the red part was like you're probably like you're heading right towards the Roanoke Island and it starts to get 324 00:24:10,260 --> 00:24:15,260 Marshy, you know, that's like shallow water and like stuff and so it's like pick one way or the other 325 00:24:15,260 --> 00:24:17,180 It's white on either side of this red 326 00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:22,360 I see so it's like you go into Roanoke sound or you go into the crow attend sound that makes sense 327 00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:25,140 Yeah, so like and but I know what you're talking about the other ones 328 00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:31,940 It's like black or white or there's red where it's like, oh we talked about well, there's range lights and there's the 329 00:24:32,540 --> 00:24:34,540 one over the other that's range 330 00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:37,700 Another one 331 00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:42,620 I have to go listen to my own podcast apparently anyway shortly after that they added 80 332 00:24:43,620 --> 00:24:45,620 creosoted wooden piles 333 00:24:45,820 --> 00:24:49,420 Which I don't look huh? I think that means they're oiled 334 00:24:49,420 --> 00:24:55,500 Yeah, I didn't look too deep into it, but it sounded like they put tar on it or something and it makes them waterproof 335 00:24:55,740 --> 00:25:02,860 Yeah, or more water resistant cool. This lighthouse had been bumped into by seven boats 336 00:25:02,860 --> 00:25:08,060 All right, like just are you blind like did you miss the lighthouse? 337 00:25:09,740 --> 00:25:11,820 That's funny it's insane so 338 00:25:12,780 --> 00:25:16,320 after it was struck so many times they decided to surround it with 339 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,200 Basically just like wooden beams sticking out of the water. It's like if you get too close 340 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,960 You're gonna hit a wood beam instead of the lighthouse 341 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,460 so funny 342 00:25:24,460 --> 00:25:28,520 but I think they were they were kind of spread out was like to the north and south and 343 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,800 They were spread out like in clusters every 20 feet or something 344 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,160 And the range was like 150 feet from the lighthouse on each side 345 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,840 So it was a pretty big radius where you couldn't get too close to the lighthouse with your boat 346 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:42,340 Nice 347 00:25:42,340 --> 00:25:47,640 1899 the station's fog bell was replaced as it had become badly cracked and 348 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:53,400 After two years this was replaced with a blower siren operated by an oil engine. So just like air compressed 349 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:53,900 Yeah 350 00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:56,400 Updating you know keeping up with the times 351 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,400 But they kept the bell 352 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,880 They just didn't use it anymore because the bell is still there 353 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,880 Yeah, they just didn't use it anymore 354 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,440 or like 355 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,000 Maybe they included it in the replica because that was the only thing that was left 356 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,760 because that was the original plan was to have the bell up there or maybe that's not even the bell that they used for 357 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,040 Maybe it's just a little I don't know all the details. It's a tiny bell. So 358 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,600 Yeah, I did include the photo that you took of the bell. So we'll see that in a little bit 359 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,000 I have a picture that I think shows some of the piles here 360 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,680 These wooden clusters 361 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:42,880 So it seems like there should be more than that and this is a really old photo must be in line with the way ships 362 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:49,040 Would often come yeah, it must been it looks like a lot of wide open water. It doesn't look that big on maps 363 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,400 But it's a cool picture. Have you seen that is a cool photo 364 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:58,880 Like when you're looking through the US LHS archives, how many photos are postcards? Have you seen that? No, they used to do like 365 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,960 Postcards for lighthouses and there was tons of them like at first they were drawings and then they were photos and 366 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,080 And people submit them to the the archives so that you can check them out. That's cool 367 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,640 I'll have to include some sometimes I always kind of skip over them because the pictures aren't very clear 368 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,640 You know, we have really good ones now 369 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,920 That aren't postcards. I'm gonna I'm tempted to use this is our 370 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,760 Cover photo. Well, or I could put a picture of us. How rare is that? Yeah 371 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:34,480 One of the cover photos you can see our beautiful faces who are these two random people these white people these Kansans who talk about lighthouses? 372 00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:38,040 Man 373 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:43,520 This is a cool picture old. I wonder I didn't say exactly what year was taken in so wish I knew 374 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:53,400 During this time when they added the new siren the keeper was Charles Pugh. Well, the assistant keeper was Charles Pugh 375 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,400 Pugh 376 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:55,720 Oh 377 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,720 and then he came back as headkeeper in 378 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:06,280 1907 and he was repeatedly recognized for saving those in distress at the lighthouse seeds. He was just a really good lighthouse MVP 379 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,000 Yeah, we always talk about how keepers are 380 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,440 Like they're supposed they're in charge of the light, but they're also like 381 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,840 lifesaving stations. They're also in charge of keeping an eye out and at the very least reporting if there was 382 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,240 accidents or 383 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,480 People that needed help but most of the time they were the kind of men that would just get up and be like 384 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,520 Better getting my little boat that's hanging outside and so much responsibility. Go get them. Yeah 385 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,880 Crazy, so he did all kind of he like piloted disabled yachts into harbors. I'm like, bro 386 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,280 My god would free boats from ice if people were stuck 387 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:48,720 Even transported those that were stuck on a seaplane to shore and then back again the next morning. So like went to go pick them up 388 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,960 That's awesome. He's a really great guy 389 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,920 during the last year of World War one the water froze around the lighthouse and 390 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:02,320 Pugh didn't get supplies for like weeks and they just couldn't send anybody to get out there and there was like I didn't put it all 391 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:07,760 In here, but there was a story of like a Navy cook who was just like like he knew him or something 392 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,160 It was like I'm getting over there. Like I'm I'm gonna go help him out. So he 393 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,200 Delivered supplies to this guy. I don't know how if it sounds epic 394 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,320 Yeah, if the lighthouse board was like we can't help you 395 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,400 It's like how do you get over here? That's risky to I know 396 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:30,480 Good for him. Yeah, so Charles Pugh was awarded a commissioners efficiency star in 1916 397 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,840 This was something I mentioned in the uniform history buoy and I didn't make note of 398 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,720 What episode that was but that was a good history boy. I loved that one talking about the uniforms 399 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,720 I think it was an earlier episode 400 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:50,720 So he also he got another one in 1922 and a superintendent's efficiency star in 1924 401 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,720 Which there must have been many more than that because you only get a commissioner star after you're awarded three consecutive 402 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,960 Superintendent stars Wow, so he was 403 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,680 Basically, he was very well kept and he was an excellent keeper super of the month 404 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,640 He was often rewarded for being such a being such a good guy 405 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,320 Now were these like stars that they would decorate their uniforms? 406 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,440 So they would wear that's pretty cool. So cool very official and then at the end of the year 407 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,280 They would send them back. So then you it was like a temporary holder. Yes, like honor you got to honor it 408 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,240 Yeah, and send it back pretty neat the first keeper at the first lighthouse 409 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:34,480 Actually, the only keeper at the first lighthouse because he was there the entire 88 years was little John Pugh and so it's the same last name 410 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,480 although 411 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,520 You can't assume that they're related just because it's the same last name 412 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,920 Yeah, but Pugh is kind of a it seems it seems unique 413 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,120 So I don't know if there was any relation there 414 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,960 But it also made me realize that little John was actually a name like it wasn't a nickname on the birth certificate 415 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:57,480 Little John two words little John. I knew a guy whose last name was little John. Oh really? 416 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,120 Yeah, oh my gosh. I think of 417 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,880 in 418 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:02,880 Robin Hood 419 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,880 Huh the rapper little John? No 420 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:10,600 No, I'm thinking about Robin Hood. Yeah the bear little John. Oh, I forgot that character 421 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,880 Robin Hood and little John walking through the forest. I think it's little John 422 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,920 Now I'm confused because there's a prince John isn't there? Oh 423 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,560 What's wrong with me? Let's see 424 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,640 Robin Hood and little John. Okay, so I was right. How does that go? 425 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,360 son son son son 426 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,360 Robin Hood and little John 427 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,360 Son son son son the other one walking through the forest laughing back and forth to what the other has to say 428 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,240 Thank you 429 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,360 Okay 430 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:50,560 Moving on the lighthouse the third one was decommissioned by the Coast Guard in 1955. I 431 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:58,280 can't remember exactly what happened and like because I feel like that's a pretty good spot for a lighthouse like cuz 432 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,120 Yeah, the island is you have to split around the island to go into either sound 433 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,560 You'd think you'd want a lighthouse there 434 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,400 But maybe it was just because it was hard to get out to because you have to row like you can't walk to the lighthouse 435 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:16,280 I don't know. But anyway, they decommissioned in 55 and they suggested the town of Mantio purchase it and rolly 436 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,120 Relocated 437 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,600 Reload. What did I say? Roly Roly Roly locate 438 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,400 Relay Kate Roly locate.

I don't think that's Canadian 444 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,160 But I've heard people say that 445 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:04,480 You know wash down wash waterfront. There was my football coach. I don't think you Canadian. He's just redneck 446 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,480 Okay, I'll just follow my notes I 447 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:14,280 Am interested why man CEO like why why did they why did the Coast Guard say hey, maybe it's like the only 448 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,680 Major like city it seems the major like town on this island 449 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,520 So the you should take it where it's at now and I don't mean to step on your content again 450 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:29,040 But it's a nice downtown remember house like nice stores. Yeah, like an old downtown beautiful 451 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,000 condos and apartments like like historical downtown is historical and 452 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,120 Looking expensive. Very nice 453 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,640 Expensive very nice. I don't mean that as a criticism 454 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:46,960 Yeah, wonderful everything like flowers planted in every space and like everything's painted white like it's not dirty. It's so clean 455 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:53,400 Potentially, there's a history there of that was like the the trade center. Yeah, true 456 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:59,420 The what is it the harbor because there was a little bit of a harbor there? Yeah. Yeah the sailboats 457 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,560 Yeah, had to go somewhere that might be true. I don't know. I'm guessing but before 458 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:12,520 Mantio could purchase it and Elijah Tate bought it some random civilian. Hmm probably with money to spare and 459 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,440 Cut the lighthouse from its foundation and placed on a barge to deliver to its new home 460 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,020 So just lighthouse sitting on a barge 461 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,520 However, okay, just as it was on the move 462 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:31,580 Rough-seas literally toppled the lighthouse off of this barge and it sunk into the sound no way 463 00:34:31,580 --> 00:34:38,240 Yeah, and I couldn't find unlike an approximate location of where it is. So it's just like dunzo. That's twice now 464 00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:40,240 I wonder if it's like dunzo 465 00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:42,500 one two three dunzo, I 466 00:34:42,700 --> 00:34:45,380 wonder if it totally was destroyed or 467 00:34:45,820 --> 00:34:50,860 If like the lighthouse itself sank to the bottom. Yeah, well in the couple of like 468 00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:53,580 crazy 469 00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:55,020 sources 470 00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:57,020 toppled is a word that makes it seem like 471 00:34:57,020 --> 00:35:01,820 It was it didn't fall apart or anything. It just slid off like slid off the barge 472 00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:07,420 So anyway, that's just like lost. Can you imagine Jimmy? Did you do those ratchet straps? 473 00:35:11,580 --> 00:35:18,460 This guy he bought a couple of other screwpile lighthouses in the area as well Elijah was collecting lighthouse Elijah 474 00:35:18,460 --> 00:35:22,580 Yeah, he was like, you know, what really makes me a lighthouse enthusiast is to own them 475 00:35:22,580 --> 00:35:26,200 And he cut it off put him in my backyard look 476 00:35:27,820 --> 00:35:29,820 Next to my Hummer 477 00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:38,580 He put him on a barge and then his barge didn't sink but it lost the light rocks and I guess that's embarrassing 478 00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:40,420 Yeah, what did you have it on wheels? 479 00:35:40,420 --> 00:35:45,140 Don't know and we'll never know could make a cool t-shirt a lighthouse toppling into the ocean 480 00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:49,620 Rip Roanoke Marshes three SS Elijah 481 00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:57,620 So the town of Manteo did not give up and they decided to build a replica as part of their 1999 centennial celebration 482 00:35:57,620 --> 00:36:02,740 Okay, but due to funding delays and a couple of hurricanes I 483 00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:09,260 Should not laugh. I'm sorry pushed back past the centennial moment and instead was built in 2004 484 00:36:09,860 --> 00:36:12,740 So okay, it's a lot of time, but they made it happen 485 00:36:13,460 --> 00:36:17,060 Okay, we almost saw it 20 years later. I know it's crazy. I 486 00:36:17,060 --> 00:36:20,500 Know and it was we were like, why is it 2004 like? 487 00:36:21,020 --> 00:36:27,700 Why yeah, do they build lighthouses? I forgot about that. It was so early. Oh, yeah. I mean honor banks was episode 10. So 488 00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:33,500 So cute son, we've come so far. Yeah, we do slightly better job at this point 489 00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:37,140 We have a system now at the very least marginally 490 00:36:37,340 --> 00:36:42,420 So anyway, they built this replica where the wastewater plant used to be for Manteo 491 00:36:42,420 --> 00:36:49,220 I got a little picky they had a what what a wastewater plant at the end of the pier on the water. Oh my gosh 492 00:36:50,660 --> 00:36:53,260 Isn't that wild I thought it smelled like shit. No 493 00:36:55,660 --> 00:37:00,180 No, it was beautiful. Yeah, so cool little photo I am glad that they 494 00:37:00,940 --> 00:37:04,820 Relocated that yeah, cuz you know that was just like being discharged into the water 495 00:37:06,020 --> 00:37:08,760 The fish loved it. You oh, yeah 496 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:15,300 Just good fishing right there moving on the Coast Guard loaned a fourth order lens for display in the lantern room 497 00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:20,180 So you can like climb up and go and see it very cool and you can go in and check out their museum 498 00:37:20,180 --> 00:37:26,180 Which we talked about run by the Roanoke Island Maritime Museum. I can't believe here's some photos. Wow, who took those? 499 00:37:26,180 --> 00:37:30,060 They're so good and so clear see we actually had a great opportunity 500 00:37:30,740 --> 00:37:35,420 Nobody else on the pier like it turned out really nice. Yeah. Yeah, it's carefully timed 501 00:37:35,420 --> 00:37:40,140 I was waiting for people to walk out of sight, but that's normal. What is that year on there? 502 00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:43,860 Is that say 19? I don't know. It looks like it says US 503 00:37:44,780 --> 00:37:46,780 Coast Guard 504 00:37:47,380 --> 00:37:50,020 1948 I almost hit my face on the microphone 505 00:37:51,820 --> 00:37:57,660 1948 and that that was some seven years before they decommissioned it. So I 506 00:37:58,220 --> 00:38:00,220 wonder if the Coast Guard was like 507 00:38:00,220 --> 00:38:04,780 Decommissioned the oh the oh the old one. Yeah, I don't know about this a 508 00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:10,020 Bell would have been lost with the lighthouse. So is that a replica? Yeah. Yeah 509 00:38:10,580 --> 00:38:17,580 It's all a replica. I just don't know if the the Coast Guard also like donated a a bell 510 00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:21,980 Can you make a replica that includes? Yeah something that says 511 00:38:22,660 --> 00:38:24,660 You can't see I 512 00:38:24,660 --> 00:38:27,140 Don't know details. There's probably some licensing 513 00:38:27,140 --> 00:38:30,340 Stuff but probably would have been cool with it. Well 514 00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:34,820 When we go back we can ask them. Yeah, I'd like to go back to this area 515 00:38:34,820 --> 00:38:37,300 It will I would too. We've got a lot of trips to go on so 516 00:38:38,180 --> 00:38:43,060 It'll be a bit but it was the Outer Banks was fun. Roanoke Island was really fun 517 00:38:43,620 --> 00:38:47,620 It's a it seemed like a nice place. You could just stay and enjoy it staying there 518 00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:50,820 Yeah, and I remember we said that whenever we went and saw this area 519 00:38:50,820 --> 00:38:54,820 We were like, oh we should have stayed a night in this little town and seen everything but 520 00:38:54,820 --> 00:38:59,940 We just didn't know we just didn't know no better. Well and on the map as we saw it's not far from Nags Head 521 00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:01,940 Yeah, another very close 522 00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:08,740 Busy place for the area. So very cool. Good job. That's Roanoke Marsh's lighthouse 523 00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:14,340 So I'll have to cover a Roanoke River sometime. It's it's different, which is nice like visually 524 00:39:14,340 --> 00:39:19,860 It's a pretty different lighthouse also screw pile. What's this lighthouse on screen? That's the lighthouse 525 00:39:19,860 --> 00:39:25,140 All right, well that's what I got 526 00:39:25,860 --> 00:39:29,780 Very good.
