Located, Last Coast Guard Officer in Charge of Pomham

 

by Don Doucette

 

 
 

The last Coast Guard officer in charge of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse before Pomham's de-commissioning has been located - or to be exact, he has located the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse (FPRL).

 

Curious and browsing the web several months ago,

Pomham Rocks Lighthouse

 
 

 Dennis Tardiff discovered our FPRL web page and learned to his delight of the recent attempts to restore the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse property. Email between Dennis and myself has occurred since his introductory message.

 

According to Dennis, Pomham Rocks Light Station was the first duty station of his Coast Guard career - Dennis retired from the Coast Guard in 1995 with twenty five years service and now works for a large private sector firm (Pfizer) in Groton, Connecticut.

 

Dennis resides in South County, Rhode Island with his wife, Shirley. Shirley (Almeida) lived in East Providence with her family when she met Dennis while he was assigned to the Pomham Light Station. Dennis is a native of Bath, Maine.

 

We had tried to locate Dennis several years ago with no luck - luck prevailed, however, Dennis found us and we are all the richer.

 

We look forward to our first personal meeting. Dennis is a vital link to learning more Pomham Rocks Lighthouse history - he is as the saying goes, a walking lighthouse history book.
