Perhaps one of the most exhilarating landings at a lighthouse for Lilla Severance was at Maine’s Saddleback Ledge Lighthouse, where a derrick with a swinging hoist boom that held a bosun’s chair on a pulley was used to get people on and off the island. The keeper’s house at Saddleback Ledge Lighthouse no longer stands. It was blown up in the 1960s in a demolition exercise by the Green Berets.
