The Lighthouse at East Wharf
The Lighthouse at East Wharf, constructed in 1999, is a 36-foot working replica of the second oldest light station in America, Brandt Point. The 26-foot Brant Point Light was built in 1746 near Nantucket, MA. The Lighthouse at East Wharf is a classic example of the coastal beacons that proudly stood watch over 300-year period of manned light stations. Through technology, light stations are no fully automated and no longer required lighthouse keepers. The Lighthouse at East Wharf is a member of the U.S. Lighthouse Society. The Society was founded to assists in the preservation and restoration of light stations – the symbols of our nation’s maritime heritage.
