When the lighthouse tender delivered coal to the lighthouse, the tender’s crew rowed the coal to the island in 100 pound sacks and dumped them on the shore. It was up to the family members to lug the sacks to the boathouse and then to the keepers house. Lighthouse keeper Roscoe Chandler is shown here supervising family members.
