The other two daughters were showing the "visitors" to the island their families' boat used to go back and forth to Boothbay Harbor. A distance of 7 miles. This was their only way to get to town for supplies, doctor, school, etc. These girls helped their dad by filling the fuel bottles that kept the lighthouse light supplied and helping outside with garden and general yard maintenance. The facility was owned by the government and the family was responsible for keeping everything in top notch condition.
