Bodie Island Lighthouse Lens Work Progressing

News Release Date: October 27, 2009 Cheryl Shelton-Roberts, along with ten other volunteers from the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society, worked with NPS contractor, Carolina Lighthouse Lens Works, and National Park Service volunteers this past week for several days carefully cleaning the prisms from the Bodie Island Lighthouse Fresnel lens.  Cleaning, packing and securing the prisms were preparatory lens work until the restoration work on Bodie Island Lighthouse structure is completed in 2011.  At that time, the prisms will be reassembled, the lens will then be returned and the familiar winking light will once again be seen from the top of the famous beacon.
