Robbins Reef Lighthouse on Disembarkation Day from the Jewel of the Seas 14 Night Cruise to Greenland - September 28th, 2023 Pictures of the Robbins Reef Lighthouse from on board the Jewel of the Seas on Disembarkation Day - September 28th, 2023 as we returned from our fantastic voyage. The Robbins Reef Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1883 (replacing a light that was built in 1839). It is very close to Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip. On board the Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas for a grand 14 day cruise to Greenland (September 14th through 28th, 2023). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with an actual stop in Manhattan (a delay leaving NYC caused by Hurricane Lee); Nuuk, Qaqortoq & Nanortalik in Greenland; St.John's, Newfoundland before heading back to New York City. It was a grand adventure.

The shop contained tools like lathes and drill presses that were used to make parts for new inventions. The machinists used these tools to cut and shape metal parts to construct models of Edison's inventions.

The complex includes more than a dozen buildings including a library, stockroom, Heavy Machine shop, Precision Machine Shop, Drafting Room, Music Room, Phonograph Gallery and the Black Maria--the world's first movie studio, which could be rotated on a turntable to keep sunlight on film subjects, that was reconstructed in 1954.
