Documentary about Lighthouse
Keeper and Heroine Ida Lewis of Newport
A project is underway by Marian Gagnon, Ph.D., who has been making documentaries since 2004, to produce a documentary in high-definition, of the extraordinary story of Ida Zoradia Lewis, America's most famous woman lighthouse keeper. Hailed as the "bravest woman in America," Ida Lewis tended the light on Lime Rock for more than 50 years and single-handedly saved 18 people from certain peril.
