Hi Lucky,

Good draft! I have some comments:

  • Re: the images -- there are already two public domain images of the Billingsgate Island Light on WikiCommons, so you can use one of them for your picture (even though it's not a new image)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billingsgate_Island#/media/File:Billingsgate_1910.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billingsgate_Island#/media/File:Billingsgate_i_a.jpg

  • Where are your sources? Make sure you include them!
  • Here are some interesting possible sources that I found while looking for images for you:

http://amhistory.si.edu/lighthouses/object.cfm?id=48
http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/capecod/ultimate.html
http://www.newenglandlighthouses.net/billingsgate.html
We have this book in the CMA library: https://books.google.com/books?id=k78O9rgso0MC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA32#v=onepage&q=%20billingsgate&f=false
Call number is VK1023 .H37 2000
We have quite a few books on lighthouses, you can check the index for "Billingsgate"

  • Some sections seem out of order. The destruction of the light is under "construction", and purchase is at the end. Perhaps try to be more chronological in how you organize the different parts. Also, avoid statements like "I believe"
