Operating a lighthouse was dangerous work. That danger is increased ten-fold when the lighthouse in question resides on a small little islet that is often under...water at high tide. Though the distance between Cockspur Island and the lighthouse does not appear to be very far, the hidden dangers made traversing this short distance incredibly dangerous for all of the keepers who tended it. No one exemplified these dangers more than Cornelius and Mary Maher (sometimes spelled Mahr). Very little is known about either Cornelius or Mary outside of their time on Cockspur Island. In 1851, Cornelius became the second keeper for the Cockspur Island Lighthouse. Together, the two performed the necessary duties required to keep an early lighthouse operational. The couple settled into their new home and for the next two years worked the lighthouse together. Then tragedy struck. While travelling to the lighthouse in 1853, Cornelius’ boat capsized, drowning the keeper in the river. Distraught over the sudden loss of her husband, Mary did not let her grief overtake her. Instead, she stepped into his shoes and for the next three years worked as the keeper in his stead. During her tenure as keeper, Mary survived not only dangerous tides, but a devastating hurricane in 1854 which destroyed not only the keeper’s house, but the lighthouse itself. Despite these hardships, Mary remained on Cockspur Island until 1856 when the new lighthouse was finally completed. She remains the only woman to officially serve as keeper of the Cockspur Island Lighthouse. (ES) Image: NPS (A close up of the Cockspur Island Lighthouse as it appears today at low tide.)
