Listen "William Major Parker and the Lighthouse"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 6 dives into the life of William Major Parker, one of the very few men of color employed by the United States Lighthouse Service. He was appointed as Head Lighthouse Keeper at Killick Shoals Lighthouse in 1886. Killick Shoals stood off the western coast of Chincoteague Island in the middle of the channel. Lighthouse Keepers faithfully maintained lighthouses where they worked and made sure the light shined nightly, keeping mariners and sailers safe at sea and aiding their navigation. THE BIVALVE TRAIL is produced by the Chincoteague Island Theatre Company and the Chincoteague Cultural Alliance. Researched, written, and narrated by Lexi Hubb. Podcast artwork by Angela Heady. Recording and post-production by Longtayle Studios. Music by Bill Troxler.For sources used and photos, go to https://www.chincoteagueca.org/bivalvetrail.html
