This very detailed and precise oil painting was purchased at an auction. Is there anyone who can please help me with the identification of the lighthouse? Thanks a bunch.
Hi!

Minor tower was a fog signal. It presented on historic photos, but seems not exist anymore.

Wow! I am very impressed with your quick response in identifying this lighthouse! I would never have been able to find it. Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you very much!
It is a bit difficult to identify the artist's signature, but I believe it was painted by:
T. Morrison.
The date following the signature either says 1977 or 1971.
I wonder when the fog horn tower was demolished...will have to do more research.
Thank you for your assistance once again.
