Description
Eastern Point Light was the fourth lighthouse I visited on my summer 2013 lighthouse tour of New England! It is an historic lighthouse on the east side of the entrance to Gloucester Harbor in Massachusetts, USA. Known as America's oldest seaport, the harbor has support fishermen, whalers, traders and smugglers since 1616. The movie The Perfect Storm was filmed locally and featured this lighthouse. The lighthouse was originally planned in 1829 and was first lit on January 1, 1832. The tower was rebuilt in 1848 and again in 1890. The third and current conical brick tower stands 36 feet (11 m) tall. The lighthouse has an attached two-story keeper's quarters, built in 1879. The actual light is 57 feet (17 m) above Mean High Water. Its white light is visible for 20 nautical miles. It was automated by September 1985 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The lighthouse is currently operated by the United States Coast Guard and is closed to the public.
