memorabilia from the age of the ship wreckers


For those of you who aren't familiar with the concept of "ship wreckers",
these were folks who would deliberately set up fake lighthouses to lure
ships out of the safe sea lanes and onto the rocks. Then they would
plunder the cargo from the wrecks.

Give you something to think about the next time you see a "navaid
unmonitored" NOTAM :-)
