Light Hearted podcast ep 161 – Amy Maxwell Chase & Mark Boyt, Bolivar Point, TX, "Be a Lighthouse"#3

Bolivar Point is at the southwestern end of the Bolivar Peninsula, marking the east side of the entrance to Galveston Bay. The first lighthouse on the point began service in late 1852, and a third-order Fresnel lens was first illuminated in the rebuilt Bolivar Point Lighthouse on November 19, 1872. With an increase in the intensity of Galveston Jetty Lighthouse in 1930, the light at Bolivar Point was extinguished. In 1947, it was bought by rancher E. V. Boyt. In 2015, descendants of the first private owners of the light station property created the nonprofit Bolivar Point Lighthouse Foundation. Amy Maxwell Chase is the executive director and Mark Boyt is a founder and board member of the organization. Lighthouses save lives and serve as symbols of hope, and first responders do the same in our communities every day. On Tuesday, February 1, first responders rescued three fishermen after their fishing boat sank off Scituate, Massachusetts. Scituate Fire Chief John Murphy discusses the rescue in a "Be a Lighthouse" segment.
