Are You in Need of an Island or a Lighthouse?

Are you in dire need to get out? Is Manhattan just suffocating you? Get your own lighthouse, or better yet, your own island!
And here is how: Govsales.gov sells everything off what the Federal Government considers surplus: planes, trucks, islands, laundry machines. Make sure to check out the Lighthouse section. At the time of this article there are on the market the Diamond Shoals Lighthouse, Cape Hatteras, NC, and the Little Gull Lighthouse in the Long Island Sound near Orient Point, NY.
If a lighthouse is not enough, maybe you prefer a whole island? Also close to Orient Point, NY, is Plum Island, which is being auctioned off on the GSA Website: "Plum Island consists of approximately 840 acres of land with a 9.5 acre support facility located on Orient Point, NY. The sale of the island will include the island, support facility, as well as personal property and transportation assets including marine ferries and fire and life safety vehicles."
