Harbour Lights

The first Harbour Lights models were introduced to the public in the Spring of 1991. The company was founded by Bill Younger who had been the first sales representative for David Winter Cottages. He realised he was not alone in his love for old buildings, and felt inspired to create a line of lighthouse sculptures that would accurately depict American architecture.

Working closely with his wife and daughters the range was researched and developed and the original 17 models launched. The original limited editions were chosen by Bill and his family from America's most famous and beloved sentinels. These include such historic lighhthouses as "Cape Hatteras, NC", "Boston Lighthouse, MA", and "Sandy Hook, NJ".

Today the collection includes some seventy active editions, representing every coastal area in the United States, as well as Canada, Europe and Asia. Recent additions include 18 British lighthouses. Another sixty or so have been retired.

The Harbour Lights Collectors Society was started in the Spring of 1995.
