Additional Description:
Mark Abbott, age 18, challenged the sea and lost, February 28, 1965. His ashes are here interred beneath his favorite statue “The Castaway.” This lighthouse is further dedicated to all youth whose lives, through fate or misadventure are terminated before realizing their true potential. May their spirits find new dimensions in the unknown horizons that await us all.
