A few years back (2019) I colorized the Library of Congress’ picture of the Middle Bay Lighthouse in Mobile Bay Alabama. Me being me I added the cow. Here is a brief history. “The station was activated in 1885. In 1916 the keeper's wife gave birth to a baby that summer at the station. According to the Alabama Lighthouse Association web site, the keeper brought a dairy cow to the station and corralled it on a section of the lower deck because his wife was unable to nurse the newborn baby. All had to be evacuated when the station survived but was damaged by a hurricane that year. The light was automated in 1935.”
