The USA



I received this unusual lighthouse, which is not a house as you can see, as a part of Lighthouses RR. This is what the back of the postcards says: The Huron Lightship built in 1920, served for sixty years at various shoals and reefs. The last 36 years it served at Corsica Shoal. The 97 foot ship has been restored and is open to the public as a museum. Nice story indeed! I think there is no lightships in Croatia, but I am not totally sure...  


Thanks to Jamie for the interesting card and stamps. The stamp in the top corner was issued in order to celebrate 2012, the Year of the Dragon.
