Summary

[edit]
Description
English: I will be posting 3 sets of carvings and there are many more there. These help in making a real connection with the people who lived there.

J.Gibbons, 1856. John Gibbons, born in Sandy Point who was a school teacher and lived at the village of Roseway, on the western shore of Shelburne Harbour directly across from McNutt's.

Inscriptions found on the rocks at Cape Roseway Lighthouse. Most of these inscriptions were made by students from Alexander Hood Cocken's school.

Alexander Hood Cocken (lighthouse keeper) had a school at the lighthouse for twenty four years. He taught boys reading, writing, orthography, arithmetic, grammar, history and geography. Students were charged twenty pounds per student, this money helped to pay for the assistant lightkeeper. A few boys were also living at the light and had to be fed and housed as well as taught. The school would have been something for added income.
