Photo Caption:

Keeper Art Shaffer’s wife, Olive, and her two young daughters, Donna and Kathryn, are riding in a similarly constructed derrick box at Cape Flattery Lighthouse in Washington in 1949. This photo demonstrates that women could safely undertake a trip in the box without too much difficulty, if they had the nerve. (Donna Shaffer Shinney Collection, Lighthouse Digest archives)
