In 1988 BM1 Dennis Dever USCG became the 60th lighthouse keeper to serve at Boston Light. In a 2003 story in Lighthouse Digest he said, “There is a definite parallel between the modern crews and past keepers, and much of the job and entertainment remains the same – albeit with some modern twists.” He later said, “Looking seaward, the view from the tower was exactly the same as it has always been – what a timeless place Boston Light Station is. If I happened to see the Mayflower wallowing past, it might have taken me a few minutes to realize something wasn’t quite right at the moment.” (Lighthouse Digest archives photo, Dennis Dever collection.)
