Descrição:	This vintage postcard dating to before 1940 shows Butler's Flat Lighthouse in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The need for a new improved lighthouse on a mucky shoal in the busy whaling and fishing harbor of New Bedford had become critical in the 1880s. Congress finally approved the request $45.000 in 1894. The l53-foot-high brick and cast iron sparkplug-style lighthouse was built in 1898. The engineer architect was F. Hopkinson Smith, the person who constructed the foundation for the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Capt Amos C. Baker Jr. was the first lighthouse keeper. In 1978 it was decommissioned and then leased to New Bedford, which city began operating it in 1979 as a private aid to navigation. In August 2013, it went up for auction, with a minimum bid of $25,000.
