Ownership
After the establishment of the new lighthouse in 1857, the light changed jurisdiction form the Commissioners of Douglas Harbour to the Commissioners of the Northern Lighthouse who took over the Douglas Head operation. The lighthouse is still run to this day by the northern commissioners who dually operate Douglas Head and the Northern lighthouse on the Isle of Man.

Famous quotes containing the word ownership:
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
