  • The FLA FLASH! a QUARTERLY PUBLICATION of the FLORIDA LIGHTHOUSE ASSOCIATION, INC April 2010
    The FLA FLASH! A QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE FLORIDA LIGHTHOUSE ASSOCIATION, INC www.floridalighthouses.org April 2010 Florida Lighthouse Association Boca Grande Lighthouse June 5, 2010 Boca Grande is a special place and this promises to be a very special meeting. The city is located on the Grand Barrier Island called Gasparilla midway between Ft. Myers and Sarasota and is truly a step back into ‘old world’ Florida. It is a quiet community that seeks to protect its quality of life and is the home to two lighthouses. Tourism and fishing is the economic base on this tranquil 7-mile long island that has no high rises and no traffic lights. But, perched atop iron pilings at the extreme southern end of Gasparilla Island are the beautifully restored Port Boca Grande Lighthouse and its look-alike companion. The lighthouse consists of a one-story dwelling with a square tower protruding through the center of its hipped roof. Atop the tower is a circular lantern room originally housing a third-and-a-half order Fresnel lens. Nearly seventy feet away, a nearly identical building, minus the tower, was built for the assistant keeper. The complex was originally built for cattle cars coming from the Peace River on their way to Cuba. But, due to a rich phosphate discovery in “bone valley” Peace River basin in the 1880’s as well as the inability of Port Tampa to handle the additional traffic, a new port needed to be found. The lighthouse was activated on December 31, 1890. Due to the naturally deep channel at Boca Grande Pass as well as the location of sandbars, a rail line was extended to Port Boca Grande in 1907 and by 1969, it was Florida’s 4th busiest port.
