Scituate Lighthouse

Scituate Light was activated in 1811. Capt. Simeon Bates was the first keeper and lived there with his wife and nine children. During the War of 1812, Abigail and Rebecca, young daughters of the keeper, prevented the British from sacking the town. Noting the approach of two red-coat filled barges from a British ship of war, the girls snatched fife and drum and made such a din that the British mistook them for an entire regiment and made a hasty retreat. Abigail and Rebecca have gone down in history as 'The American Army of Two'.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
