KAPTN
KEN'S PAGE
Welcome to the world of the
lighthouse
Sinbad as the old Salty Dog, Kaptn Ken Link to Water/Gasoline Project
Aarh! now me hearties and landlubbers, t'is the tale of Sinbad's friend, Kaptn Ken, not a real captain you know, but a real salt of the sailing waters, you bet.
Dressed in
appropriate attire, the Kaptn will take you on a tour of a Lighthouse in
Oregon. You will go inside an old lighthouse and see where the lightkeeper
would set up his night's supplies, you will get to climb the narrow stairs
to view the beautiful prisms of the rotating Fresnel lens. You may get to
see the keeepers house and listen to stories of ghosts.
Perhaps
you will be in Oregon and be able to check out all the lighthouses along
the beautiful Oregon Coast.

Jessica, Lady of the Lamp
Kaptn Ken has written a Ghost Story set around the Umpqua River Lighthouse. It is suposed to be fiction, but there are several ties to actual reference points within the lighthouse, Including a photograph of the Lady in the window at night! Read the book, then visit the lighthouse, and judge for yourself.
(The book is available at some Lighthouse Gift Stores)
