Description
Since the early 1800's, sailors of these waters had requested that a light be built here. Many years and many shipwrecks later, in 1876, Congress finally spent $15,000 for the construction of a lighthouse.
The tower, which stands 41 feet tall, was made of cast iron and lined with brick. The distinctive red light was lit for the first time on July 1, 1879. Originally, there was a huge fog bell, which could be heard for miles. It was later replaced with a foghorn.
