The Gay Head Light is ready for its big move, which is now scheduled for Thursday, May 28. On Tuesday afternoon, the 1856 lighthouse stood in the center of an enormous excavation, balanced on the wood and steel frame that will travel with the lighthouse. A smooth concrete pad to the east, backed by a curved retaining wall, awaited the new arrival. Blue sky showed both around and underneath the lighthouse, creating a thrilling and improbable scene.
