Gather around all ya scurvy sea go’en fans, tonight by the dark waters of Dock 13, I’m go’en to tell you a Tale of Two Lighthouses.  My story begins at a light known as Dolphin Point.  Some might call ‘er pink, but don’t let the color fool ya, for she could at one time withstand some of the most formidable of storms.  With four foolish, fun figs, more along the lines of vacationers, one had a hobby near and dear to my heart, for when the sardine cans were run’n low, he could grill a mean mackerel.  The old stone light had a twisting staircase leading up to the fresnel lense, and a classic-style telescope could spy a ship in the roughest of nearby waters.  During better weather, a small sailing vessel could be found circling the sand covered shores with a friendly Flipper chasing behind; but that’s not to say that the vacationers should have left off their brightly yellow colored life vests.  Music from a printed cassette radio played Surf’n USA that day, under the shade of an inviting palm.  Polly the Parrot even whistled the tune as the ladies set the table in preparation for the catch of the day.  None of them suspected the perfect storm that would soon devastate Dolphin Point and the rest of Classic Town.

Thirteen (13) years would pass, an unlucky number, before a new lighthouse would be erected at twice the cost, this one built by the U.S. Coast Guard bearing it’s new bright orange signature color.  The ground surrounding the light would be built up to protect the tower from the roughest of waves, and the classic telescope of Dolphin Point replaced by a new electrical radar system.  One keeper now watches as a silly surfer can be seen in the distance.  An additional light beacon nearby the dock warns unsuspecting ships of the added danger due to squalls in the area.  A mid-sized coastal cutter manned by one pilot and diver patrols as an extra precaution, but a grey shark has made the nearby waters his new feeding ground.  How long until the next perfect storm?  Only you can decide the fate of the LEGO Lighthouse after reading this tale, a Tale of Two Lighthouses, here on Classic-Town.
