6. Lighthouse
Our lighthouse:
How gravely you stand on our island dunes
Highly on the look out you keep watch,
During storm and heavy weather, in cold and heat,
You do your duty day and night
When Lambert, son of merchant captain Jan Lammert Wiersma, was 15 years old, he moved to Amsterdam with his family. He reached his ranks at high speed and sailed until his marriage in 1909. Then he came ashore and eventually became director of the pilotage.
In 1969 he returned to the island.
