The Thacher Island Town Committee along with the Thacher Island Association is pleased to announce the institution of a Lighthouse Keeper Internship Program on Thacher Island.  Each Internship will be for one week during which the intern couple will work alongside experienced keepers, learning the duties of lighthouse keepers and developing the skills necessary to fill that position.  These Internships are unpaid but lodging will be provided.

The qualities being sought are self-reliance, the ability to function in an isolated environment, identify problems in equipment and make minor repairs with instructions from ashore if necessary.  Skills in carpentry, mechanical aptitude and landscaping are preferred. 

The Internships will occur during the third week of July, August and September. 

If you are seeking an unusual experience in an isolated environment, would like to stretch your horizons and can function as a good tenant and steward, this may be the circumstance for you. 

Contact Syd Wedmore at 155 South Street, Rockport, MA 01966 or via email at suellenwedmore@comcast.net.  Phone (617) 335-1799.  Send resume and rationale for your interest.
