A7 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2018 Lighthouse: Getting to ‘Terrible Tilly’ was a challenge Continued from Page A1 Rekate, a retired Can- non Beach contractor, now plans to offer his photos to the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum to help piece together the light- house’s history. “When I read that arti- cle, I thought, ‘Hey, maybe they could use these, too,’” he said. Local lore Lots of local lore exists about fi shermen taking trips into the lighthouse , but pho- tos documenting the inte- rior or taken from the per- spective of being on the lighthouse are uncommon, according to the history center. While the abandoned lighthouse was always in the background, it wasn’t especially common for fi shermen to get onto the sea stack, Rekate recalled. There is no good way to dock a boat, and the area is known for its tumultuous conditions. But one day, when fi sh- ing was unusually slow and the water was strangely placid, Rekate and a few other fi shermen decided to take a look inside. Getting there, how- ever, was still a challenge. Rekate and his partners took turns jumping onto the island while the others would putter around. “Even though it was calm, there was still a swell, so you’d have to time it,” he said. “You’d move in Rare photos of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse have recently been released by a fi sherman who visited the site before it was closed off . Scott Retake with the swell and the per- son going would jump, then you’d have to hit reverse and back out.” When he fi rst arrived at the lighthouse, the front door was fl ung open and the insides were in disarray. The building was incred- ibly dark, Rekate remem- bered, illuminated only by the light from the front door and from the light- house above. Some chairs and a table remained — even a 1950s newspaper from Tampa, Florida. Inside where the Fresnel lens used to live, little holes from small rocks carried by large waves punctured the glass. What impressed him the most, however, was the staircase. “The catwalks were very unique,” Rekate said. “Light from the light- house would hit down on diamond-shaped F resnel pieces on the staircase and illuminate the whole stair- case without any lights. I thought that was pretty cool.” Still curious Rekate remains curious about the state of the light- house almost 40 years later, and of the other fi shermen who made the journey. “If there was any kind of major swell, you’d bash into the rocks,” he said. “So I can’t imagine it happened a lot.” Many who remember Terrible Tilly have “likely been blown apart across the country by now,” he said. Park: The heritage association will be responsible for maintenance Continued from Page A1 Jonah Dart-McLean, the interim park director, said the city was waiting for the project to go through the approval process. The park the heritage association plans to develop will include interpretive fea- tures and information about the Scandinavian immi- grants who came to Asto- ria seeking work and better lives. The park will be low maintenance, but also a pub- lic monument, easily acces- sible to visitors and locals alike, organizers say. While the site will con- tinue to be a city park, the heritage association will be responsible for maintenance. The park has been two years in the making. The her- itage association had hoped to have a park in place in time for the annual Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival’s 50th anniversary in 2017 . “We’re very excited,” said Judi Lampi, the park project chair for the heritage associ- ation. “I’m looking forward to a lot of hard work.” CLASSIFIEDINDEX classifieds NOTICES MARINE Special Notices ............................. 104 Boats for Sale................................. 251 Public Notices ............................... 107 Boating Parts & Accessories ..... 254 Announcements .......................... 110 Boats Wanted ................................ 257 Boat Trailers ................................... 260 PERSONALS Marine Supplies & Equip. .......... 266 Lost & Found ................................. 181 Boat/RV Storage ........................... 269 Personals ........................................ 184 Fund-raisers ................................... 188 RVs & Trailers RVs & Travel Trailers ............ 301-307 AUTOMOTIVE Campers, Utility Trailers .... 310-313 Antiques/Classic Vehicles ......... 201 Automobiles .................................. 204 REAL ESTATE SUVs/Trucks .......................... 207-210 Open Houses ................................. 501 4WD .................................................. 213 For Sale ................................... 504-513 Vans .................................................. 216 Lots & Acreage .............................. 516 ATVs/Motorcycles ........................ 219 Income Property .......................... 519 Truck/Auto Parts .......................... 222 Manufactured Homes ................ 522 Detailing ......................................... 225 Commercial Property ................. 525 Tires & Wheels ............................... 228 Real Estate Wanted ..................... 531 RENTALS Properties for Rent ............. 601-613 Rooms & Roommates................. 616 Commercial Rental ...................... 619 Vacation Rentals .......................... 622 Storage Space ............................... 628 Wanted to Rent ............................ 634 RV/Mobile Home Space ............ 637 PETS/LIVESTOCK Animal Boarding .......................... 701 Feed-Hay-Grain ............................ 704 Pets & Supplies ............................. 710 Horses & Tack ................................ 713 WE GETRESULTS MISCELLANEOUS CALL TODAY TO PLACE YOUR AD Fuel, Heating & Firewood ......... 807 Furniture & HH Goods ................ 810 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES TV & Electronics ........................... 811 Business Opportunities ............. 643 Antiques & Collectibles ............. 813 Business for Sale .......................... 644 Jewelry ............................................ 814 Arts & Crafts ................................... 816 503-325-3211 or 800-781-3211 Email: classifieds@dailyastorian.com Web: www.dailyastorian.com HELP WANTED Help Wanted .................................. 651 APPLIANCES & EQUIP.
