Drake Mason Stewart, first child of Elan and Katy Stewart, Keepers of East Brother Lighthouse, arrived on New Year’s Day. Drake weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces and is happy and healthy; and Katy is doing well. Her mom and sister are there to help over the weekend. East Brother is closed the first two weeks in January in anticipation of the baby’s arrival but will be open for business thereafter.

As far as we know, Drake is only the third child of East Brother Keepers born in over 100 years.
