Before we go any further with this article, is this the right name? True, it is (perhaps) 'the symbol of Alpena.' But there are otehr Alpena lights, and the sources are split on the name. A number of them refer to this as the "Alpena breakwater light." This is on the north breakwater and there is one on the south. Maybe we should do one called "Alpena breakwater lights"? I've not yet done a survey of the sources listed in the article. Maybe it's time to change the name (although if we do so, it would have to include the NavBox). What do you think? 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 12:05, 18 August 2008 (UTC) Stan
According to Terry Pepper, the 1914 light was "Erected atop a new concrete pier, the structure consisted of a four-legged pyramid skeleton tower surmounted by a circular watch room". So we seem to have yet another discrepancy. Asher196 ( talk) 13:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- In 1914, the old wooden beacon had deteriorated beyond repair, and the decision was made to replace the decrepit structure. The design selected was somewhat similar to that which had been used on the Breakwater at Marquette. Erected atop a new concrete pier, the structure consisted of a four-legged pyramid skeleton tower surmounted by a circular watch room. An octagonal lantern erected atop this watch room was encircled by an iron gallery with a tubular safety railing.
This is a nice picture. I don't know if or where it could be worked in. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Alpena_Light_large.jpg 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 18:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC) Stan
This is no longer a stub, and should at least rate a "Start." 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 23:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC) Stan
I don't believe this article should be rated as a B-class article. I bumped it down to a C for the time being. It is poorly structured, has grammar issues, and the references are bare links. — ♣ №tǒŖïøŭş 4lĭfė ♫ ♪ 17:02, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
