Cape Ann Light Station

Cape Ann Light Station is located in Massachusetts

The Cape Ann Light Station on Thacher Island, off Cape Ann in Rockport, Massachusetts is nationally significant as the last light station to be established under colonial rule and the first station in the United States to mark a navigational hazard rather than a harbor entrance. The current pair of lighthouses were built in 1861. They were both equipped with first order Fresnel lenses, which stood approximately 10 feet (3.0 m) high and weighed several tons (tonnes).
