[edit] Coordinates

Previous locaton listed: 25°41′00″N, 80°05′00″W is in the middle of the water off shore. Click link then 'USA' then 'US specific map sources' then 'Find this location on Acme Mapper. Same dataset as TerraServer-USA but a different (better?) user interface.' You will see a crosshair showing the location on the topo. You have to zoom out once to see the topo, but it's in the water out to sea.

Location is: 25°39′59.72″N, 80°09′21.47″W If you go to the highest zoom you see Lighthouse on the topo and on the aerial you see the long shadow of the tower.

As you can see, there is nothing on the aerial photo at the first location. --Dual Freq 14:29, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA

The article failed the GA primarily for two reasons; firstly, the attack section needs to be trimmed and much better sourced, and the later history section needs to be cleaned up to make it more presentable to one unfamiliar to the subject, and a current status section needs to be added.
