Yep, "dyed-in-th-wool" pharologist! I am pleased to know there are others in here!!!

Hey, whatever you guys do in the privacy of your bedrooms is your own business, leave us out of it. ;-)

Hatteras? That's the one on wheels, isn't it?

For those who have not yet figured it out, a "pharologist" is one who loves and studies lighthouses. Whence the name? It comes from one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: Pharos, the great lighthouse in Alexandria,Egypt. Built between 300 and 280 BC by Ptolemy I and his son, Ptolemy II. It stood about 450 feet high. It was destroyed in stages by invaders and earthquakes, and was completely gone by the 1300's.

It is.

I don't think it is anymore. Still, there is an interesting irony to the fact that lighthouses are to a ship the one constant in the world and yet this one moved a few years ago.
