Lighthouses are one of my passions. Here a few of my favorites from New Jersey, Massachusetts & California.
Nauset Light, is a lighthouse in Eastham, Massachusetts. It is a cast iron plate shell lined with brick and stands 48 feet high.The non-profit Nauset Light Preservation Society was formed and funded and, in 1995, leased the lighthouse from the Coast Guard. It arranged the light's relocation in November 1996 to a location 336 feet west of the original one. The move was accomplished successfully by International Chimney Corporation, which had previously moved the larger Highland Light a similar distance. First year it was lit was 1877, automated in 1952. Alternating red and white flashes every 5 seconds. (Photographed October 2009)
