-from the film, Alone in the Night
Cove Island, completed in 1858 |
Of the many stories in Alone in the Night which portray the stark and brutal conditions endured by early lightkeepers, the most horrific is the tale of David McBeath. During McBeath’s first season on Cove Island in 1860, he misjudged food rations for his family of five. As winter neared, they faced starvation.
