Throwback-Thursday – Cape Canaveral Lighthouse in 1900
Take a trip back one hundred and twenty five years to Cape Canaveral and the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse.
This overall ground level view shows two of the resident houses surrounding the Cape Canaveral lighthouse in the early 1900s. To the right of the lighthouse is the oil storage building. In the foreground is a small broken gate that may have led to a garden. The resident buildings are large two-story structures with large porches spanning the front of the house. Photo Credit: NASA.
About the Author and Photographer: Alden Pitard has over 40 years experience working in the Aerospace Industry at Cape Canaveral, The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and Boeing locations throughout the country. He has supported the Space Shuttle Program, International Space Station, 787 Dreamliner and most recently the Artemis Program. During his time at "The Cape" he photographed a majority of the Launch Sites at KSC and Cape Canaveral. As the Space Shuttle program was coming to a close in 2011, the author decided to bike to all the Launch Complexes he could and capture the Space Center and Cape Canaveral as it was - thus "Biking through Space Ruins".
