A Chance Meeting with a Chance Descendant

 


Elinor DeWire and Mary Iles at Cape Schanck Lighthouse in Victoria, Australia., November 2022.



Mary IIles is a descendent of the Chance Brothers who made so many British lenses for lighthouses. I met Mary last November at Cape Schanck Lighthouse in Australia, where she volunteers. Mary is so knowledgeable and friendly! I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation and our chat.


Below is the handout Mary gives visitors to Cape Schanck Lighthouse.
