If you have ever taken the long trip to the tip of Long Island in New York and visited the Montauk Point Lighthouse and State Park, then you know what a wonderful lighthouse this is. This town was given the namesake by the American Indians that called this small piece of land their own, and although they are no more, you can still visit the quaint shops, and get a full tour of their most prominent feature.

On a clear day you can see Block Island, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, as well as the Atlantic Ocean for miles. This is New York's first working lighthouse, constructed and finished in 1796, is more then 200 years old, and stands over 110 feet tall. The light flashes every five seconds, warning ships at sea, and welcoming sailors back home.

This is one of the more unique lighthouses to collect, because it was around in the times of George Washington, the first President. There are many people who collect these unique and historic buildings, and this takes a bit of dedication that most other collectors don't have. Sometimes it is hard to find just the right addition to your collection. Most of the people find that what is available are the small, porcelain replicas that are displayed in cases, and don't have the same look or functionality.

If you are looking for a unique product for yourself or as a gift for your favorite collector, then come to the Compass Rose website. They not only have many hard to find items, but one of their specialties is lawn ornaments. The Montauk Lighthouse is custom crafted by this company, and is recreated in loving detail. These structures have a solid foam core, covered in masonry and synthetic stucco, meticulously handcrafted. Each piece is impervious to the weather.

The Montauk lighthouse and all of the lawn lighthouses have real decorative windows, even with small details like curtains. They also come complete with a six panel door, and while this company specializes in replicating each lighthouse perfectly, if you need to match it with your dcor they can. Each of their lighthouse creations come with a basic standard light, which can be upgraded with a wide selection of accessories.

You can order your Montauk Lighthouse in five different sizes, from just three feet tall to a whopping 12' height. They have very reasonable prices, considering the materials, and the hand craftsmanship. The smallest is just $285, with the twelve foot model just $1,600. They offer free shipping within the continental United States.

So even if you haven't actually visited the Montauk Lighthouse in person, but want to capture a piece of the unique history that is behind it, then you need to order you own Montauk Lighthouse from Compass Rose today. While there may be other websites offering similar products, after checking them out you will probably come back to this site anyway. They also offer a wide selection of other lighthouses, plus many maritime collectibles as well.
