About
Join author Mary Korpi as she explores the history of Horton Point Lighthouse through the
eyes of its sole female lighthouse keeper.
Korpi’s book, The Lady Lighthouse Keeper, is a fictionalized narrative about the
only woman who served as a lighthouse keeper at Horton Point Lighthouse in
Southold, NY. Stella Prince (1867 – 1928) resided at the lighthouse for over
half her life, longer than anyone else. At its heart, The Lady Lighthouse
Keeper offers an intimate and relatable look at family life at a slower
pace, set against the demanding task of maintaining a lighthouse. Through
Stella, we gain insight into life on the North Fork in the late 1800s from a
woman’s perspective.
