Ram Island Ledge Lighthouse auction ends today

The government's auction of Ram Island Ledge Lighthouse, a 90-foot granite tower built off Cape Elizabeth, Maine, in 1905, ends today. The high bid at this moment is $85,000. Let's hope the high bidder has the best interests of the lighthouse at heart.
