Mohni Lighthouse

Quiz 1 Mohni Lighthouse

Mohni Lighthouse (Estonian: Mohni tuletorn) is a lighthouse located on the island of Mohni
(in the Gulf of Finland), in Estonia.

== History ==
The original wooden lighthouse was built in 1806, and replaced with the 20 metre concrete
structure in 1852. Due to the harsh Nordic climate, the outer bricks of the lighthouse have
heavily deteriorated and a new layer of bricks (including an additional 7 metres in height)
were added in 1871. The lantern room of the lighthouse was built by a Latvian based
factory in Liepā ja, and the dioptric apparatus was made by Chance Brothers & Co in Great
Britain.
Due to the continuous deterioration of the lighthouse's outer brick surface, the lighthouse
was reinforced with a layer of concrete after World War II; this layer was removed in 1998.
Next to the lighthouse is the lighthouse keeper's house.

Phelps Putnam

NotePhelps Putnam

Howard Phelps Putnam (1894 – 1948), sometimes known as H. Phelps Putnam or Phelps
Putnam, was an American poet who published two books, Trinc and The Five Seasons.

== Biography ==
Phelps Putnam was born in Massachusetts in 1894 and attended Phillips Exeter Academy.
He enrolled at Yale University where he was a member of the secret society Skull and
Bones: 155  and was among the "Renaissance" generation of talented Yale-educated writers
(which includes alumni such as Stephen Vincent Benét, Henry R. Luce, Archibald MacLeish,
Cole Porter, and Thornton Wilder).
Following graduation Putnam traveled to Europe and worked a series of odd jobs including
a brief period as an assistant editor for the Atlantic Monthly Press and writing advertising
copy for an insurance company. Putnam's first book of poems, Trinc, Rabelaisian for drink,
was published in 1927. Following Trinc Putnam set to work on an epic, to be titled The
Earthly Comedy. In 1930 Putnam was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and the following
year he published The Five Seasons (1931). This volume marks the beginning of Putnam's
work towards producing The Earthly Comedy, however, Putnam died in 1948 before
completing his epic, perhaps thwarted by his ill health (asthma and alcoholism) and the
paralyzing ambition of his plans. As F.O. Matthiessen acknowledges in his essay “To the
Memory of Phelps Putnam” “he sketched a poem too vast ever to be able to shoulder the
weight of writing it”. Putnam wrote little in his later years, which largely consists of poetry
published in various magazines and lyrics for a musical collaboration with Harl McDonald
entitled Songs of Conquest: Cycle for Chorus of Mixed Voices (1937).

Frinton-on-Sea

NoteFrinton-on-Sea

Frinton-on-Sea is a seaside town and (as just Frinton) a former civil parish, now in the
parish of Frinton and Walton, in the Tendring district of Essex, England. In 2018 it had an
estimated population of 4,837. In 1931 the parish had a population of 2196.

== History ==
The place-name 'Frinton' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears
as Frientuna. The name may mean 'fenced-in or enclosed town or settlement'.Until late
Victorian times, Frinton-on-Sea was a church, several farms and a handful of cottages. In the
1890s, the original developer of the town, Peter Bruff, was bought out by the industrialist
Richard Powell Cooper, who had already laid out the golf course. Powell Cooper rejected
Bruff's plans for a pier, stipulated the quality of housing to be built and prohibited boarding
houses and pubs. The Sea Defence Act 1903 established a project to stabilise the cliffs, with
the Greensward, which separates the Esplanade from the sea, put in place to stabilise the
land further.In the first half of the 20th century the town attracted visitors from high
society. Connaught Avenue, named after the Duke of Connaught and opened by his wife, was
nicknamed East Anglia's Bond Street. Other attractions included a lido, complete with palm
trees, hotels along the Esplanade, and an amateur tennis tournament.
