The lighthouse thing came to play shortly after all the 'diver' incidents.
My brain has narrowed it down to starting in early May of this year. (Don't know which thread that would be)
The first incident was a woman in RI calling 911 to report 2 men in a skiff breaking down the door to the Pomham Lighthouse. Those men got away, but they were spotted either loading or unloading something from/to the boat.
The second incident shortly thereafter was a story of boaters, '4 men with a language barrier' who had to be rescued at night. The men reported their location as being near the Pomham Lighthouse, but it turned out they were MUCH farther south.
The third incident somewhere in the same general area was a boat that was beached and left abandoned. The story was odd, in that it seemed there was quite a search going on for the owner of the boat.
I believe there were other incidents right around the RI area, but I'm over 40 and the memory cells fade in and out...
Oh, LNG tankers galore in this area...
THANK YOU!
