There are individual actors representing a real life family that lived on the island from 1936 until mid 1950s. They had 4 daughters and one son. This representation is from the early 1950s and one son and one daughter had married and live on the mainland. All operations at the lighthouse at this time, were manual so this was quite a physical job which had to done in all types of weather conditions. Even during the winter, the keeper had use a small boat to go the 7 miles to Boothbay Harbor where he could get fresh supplies.
