It's rare that Partridge Island is the site of so much activity.
Uptown dwellers may have noticed that the deserted former quarantine station is getting a number of visits from helicopters from yesterday through today.
They're delivering construction equipment to replace the generator for the island's 54-year-old lighthouse.
There hasn't been a lighthouse keeper on the island since the 1980s and the historic foghorn was decommissioned back in 1999.
The maintenance trips are expected to last through today.
