Frank Schubert

Frank Schubert

Frank Schubert (1915 - 2003) was the last civilian lighthouse keeper in the United States.

Schubert worked for the United States Coast Guard since 1939; at the time of his death he was serving at the Coney Island Lighthouse in Brooklyn, New York, where he had worked since 1960.

He maintained the grounds and fog signal, and was credited with saving 15 lives. Schubert remained at the lighthouse after it was automated in the 1980s, and was visited by many lighthouse buffs.

He died on December 11 2003, aged 88.
