Lighthouses of Alaska's Inside Passage, USA

This card is from the swap with Helen. She's been lucky enough to get to visit Alaska recently. I'd really like to visit there one day, too, although at least right now it seems highly unlikely I'll ever have that much money.



On this card you can see Lighthouses of Alaska's Inside Passage:
Left: Sentinel Island, Upper right: Eldred Rock, Lower right: Russell

The Sentinel Island Light is a lighthouse in Alaska adjacent to Lynn Canal in Alaska. It is located at the northern entrance to the Favorite Channel, between the mainland and Lincoln and Shelter Islands. It was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 2002.

The Eldred Rock Light is an historic octagonal lighthouse adjacent to Lynn Canal in Alaska. It is the last of the ten lighthouses constructed in Alaska between 1902 and 1906. On December 30, 1975, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Eldred Rock Lighthouse.

As for Russell... I couldn't find any info on it.
