St Augustine Lighthouse
Original Giclee: Oil on Linen Landscape Limited Edition: 1 of 100 Height 18" x Width 14" x Depth 3" Year Produced: Unknown Inventory ID CS_0055 Status: All Galleries Price: $12,000.00 ![]() Narrative: I’ve been looking at and have been drawing and painting them. But I don’t think that getting up close and looking up does them justice. So here I have picked a bayou across the Matanzas Bay (part of the Intercostal Waterway) to get a perspective on the lifesaving quality of the active 1874 Lighthouse and the Maritime Museum which looks out from Anastasia Island to the Atlantic Ocean. During World War II, Coast Guard men and women trained in St. Augustine, and used the lighthouse as a lookout post for enemy ships and submarines which frequented the coastline. Now the Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program (LAMP) is the research arm of the Lighthouse. ![]() |
