Description

The Lighthouse by the Bay music, written in 1909, "Words by Chas A Hunter", and "Music by W. L. Needhan". Charles A. Hunter published the song. The words were a tribute to the Lighthouse and how it warned and safely guided sailors through the waters with its shining light. Charles Hunter was the Marblehead Lighthouse keeper from 1903 to 1933 and enjoyed hobbies that included painting, creating crewelwork tapestries, storytelling, writing short stories, and music.
