when does Plum Island Light built which has the same design as Great Captain Island Lighthouse?
Plum Island Light Plum Island Light, also known as Plum Gut Light, is located on the western end of Plum Island, which lies east of Orient Point which in turn is at the end of the North Fork of Long Island in the US state of New York. An historic granite lighthouse originally built in 1869 sits at the site, but no longer serves as an active aid to navigation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

USCGC Fir (WLM-212) The United States Coast Guard Cutter "Fir" (WAGL/WLM 212) was the last lighthouse tender built specifically for the United States Lighthouse Service to resupply lighthouses and lightships, and to service buoys. "Fir" was built by the Moore Drydock Company in Oakland, California in 1939. On 22 March 1939, the U.S. Lighthouse Tender "Fir" was launched. She was steam driven with twin screws, 175 ft in length, had a beam of 32 ft , drew 11 ft of water, and displaced 885 tons. "Fir" was fitted with a reinforced bow and stern, and an ice-belt at her water-line for icebreaking. She was built with classic lines and her spaces were lavishly appointed with mahogany, teak, and brass. The crew did intricate ropework throughout the ship. The cost to build "Fir" was approximately 390,000. "Fir's" homeport was Seattle, Washington for all but one of her fifty one years of service when she was temporarily assigned to Long Beach, California when USCGC "Walnut" was decommissioned on 1 July 1982.
