Sunny

Appledore Island is sunny today, and we are enjoying a beautiful afternoon. The USCG vessel Marcus Hanna is steaming by after checking the buoys around the Isles of Shoals. The Marcus Hanna is a 175' Keeper-class buoy tender based in South Portland Maine. It is named for Marcus Hanna, a lighthouse keeper who saved two sailors at Cape Elizabeth light in 1885. Hanna also won the Medal of Honor for heroism during the Civil War.
