Description: Borden Flats LighthouseFall River, MA Art print of the Borden Flats Lighthouse on a nautical chart an original watercolor painting by William B. MacGregor Jr, who is known in the New England area as the Junkyard Artist. ------------------------------------------------------- Borden Flats Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse on the Taunton River in Fall River, MA. It is a tower-on-caisson type known as sparkplug lighthouse. Borden Flats Lighthouse was built in 1881, and is a 50 foot cast-iron tower that included a keeper's quarters. The light has a fourth-order Fresel lens producing a fixed red light 47-foot above mean high water. The lighthouse was battered during the 1938 Hurricane which left the lighthouse with a pronounced tilt, which it still has. A new wider caisson was later added around the original one for additional protection. In 1957, the lighthouse was electrified. It was automated in 1963. In 1977, its Fresnel lens was removed and replaced with a modern Vega lens and the fog horn. The fog bell it was replaced by an electronic foghorn in 1983. Today Bordon Flats Light is privately owned and offered to the public for overnight stays.

MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Many of his family members were self taught artists, woodcarvers, automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. In May, 2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA .
