keepers, throughout history, have been busy to keep in good condition the headlights of the lighthouses and turn them on every night. In the beginning it was a heavy and risky activity, since they had to ignite fires or oil lamps and keep the fuel supply. Furthermore, they should rely on the strength and ingenuity to keep up the lighthouse, as that depended of the safety of ships and their crews.As the boats were in distant places, often lighthouse keepers lived alone or with their families, isolated for a long time, until the supplies of food and materials reached them. The lighthouse keeper had a log book of daily events, the consumption of materials and the vessels could see. The profession of lighthouse keeper is perhaps one of the oldest and romantic, now less common due to the implementation of modern automatic systems. Lighthouse Keepers of ChetumalThe first lighthouses of the city, that were placed in the clock tower and in the monument to the flag, lacked of a person dedicated only to the lighthouse. It was not until the mid-twentieth century with the construction of the new lighthouse, east of the city on the Bay Boulevard, which had the first lighthouse keeper Federico Alcérreca, son of Don Federico R. Alcérreca who built the lighthouse. After Hurricane Janet in 1955, he requested a transfer to the Ministry of Merchant Marine leaving as second lighthouse keeper Mr. Encalada, better known by all his friends as SOPLILLO, a very intelligent and capable man, who years later became Captain of the harbour master in Chetumal, after six months he left the lighthouse keeper job he puted in charge Mr. Arcadio Sabido, who was in charge of the lighthouse of Tulum. Finally when he died, his son Ignacio Filiberto Sabido Padilla was commissioned as a fourth lighthouse keeper, who is known as CHICHARO and who also served as chief of naval services of the Merchant Marine, assigned to the harbour Port of Chetumal, serving at the same time as lighthouse keeper in Chetumal, job he did for 42 years, from 1957 to 1999 when he retired from office. Today the lighthouse Chetumal works automatically.
