Crossover Island Lighthouse, Hammond, New York

Crossover Island Lighthouse stands in the St. Lawrence River near Hammond, New York, close to the international border. A light station was established here in 1848 to assist navigation along this important river passage. This watercolor by Good Old Tom celebrates the lighthouse’s island character and its place within the St. Lawrence landscape. Soft washes bring a reflective calm to the scene, inviting viewers to consider the quiet beauty of a river landmark shaped by generations of travel on the water.
