I donated a Victrola to the Fort Gratiot Light Station, the oldest lighthouse in Michigan. I'd like to find some records about light houses if anyone has something to offer.
Thanks!

Re: Wanted: Records About Lighthouses
"Asleep in the Deep" was widely recorded in the 78 era. I have it sung by the bass Norman Allin on UK Columbia.
Here are the lyrics, which include lighthouse references :

Thanks for letting me know about this one. It sounds perfect! The Fort Gratiot Light Station was almost lost during the great storm on Lake Huron in 1913. Many ships went down with a great loss of life.

Thank you for letting me know about this record. The Fort Gratiot Light Station was nearly lost in the Great Storm of 1913 which sank many ships on Lake Huron.
This sounds perfect.

Re: Wanted: Records About Lighthouses
Glad to have been of help. This recording should not be hard to find in the USA :
