Minot's Ledge Light station fabric
The first Minot's Ledge tower was washed away in a storm; the rebuilt light remains famous for a 1-4-3 characteristic popularly read as 'I love you.' That cultural reading is why the LUX143 research field uses 143 — as product meaning, not as a replacement for navigational evidence.
