The history of Brant Point Light is as colorful as the majestic Nantucket Harbor on which it sits. Brant Point Light is the second oldest lighthouse station in America– exceeded only by Boston Light. Since it was placed in service in 1746, there have been eight previous sentinels at Brant Point, making it the most moved and rebuilt lighthouse in the country.

In 1875, Congress authorized $10,000 to build a fog signal at Castle Hill as an aid to mariners making their way through the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. Unfortunately, the renowned Harvard Professor and Zoologist Alexander Aggasiz built a summer home on the proposed site a year earlier and refused to sell. Landowners in the Castle Hill area banded together in opposition of a fog bell sounding on their “doorstep.”

As commercial shipping on Lake Ontario increased toward the end of the eighteenth century, navigational aids and safe harbors became a serious concern. In 1805 Congress officially established a port at the entrance to the Genesee River. Since the river was partially blocked by sandbars and the port was surrounded by marshlands, a lighthouse was deemed absolutely necessary for safe passage into the river.

When Chatham Light was first built on Cape Cod in 1808, it was actually twin lighthouses, in an effort to distinguish the new beacon from nearby Highland Light. The first sentinels were 40 feet high and set 70 feet apart. They were built of wood, with a small dwelling for keepers.

A bright beacon pierces through the misty fog, searing a path
through the thick vapor. A disoriented captain spots the fleeting, yet intense
signal. He is still thirty miles from the eastern coast of Cape Cod, but with
his position affirmed, he sighs with relief. Although his maritime maps might
tell him that he just spotted the Cape Cod Light, he affectionately calls her
"Highland."

The beckoning water off Maine’s coastline holds plentiful bounty and unpredictable peril. Fishing provides a livelihood for many towns, giving both sustenance and income. But on dark days, when the fog engulfs the harbor or a nor’easter slams the shore, fishing vessels can easily founder in the frigid seas. If it weren’t for the many lighthouses dotting Maine’s coastline, many lives and ships would be lost.

After a fierce storm ravaged the Portland Harbor area in 1831, officials saw the need for not only a breakwater to protect the town, but also a lighthouse to guide mariners to safety through the uncharted waters. Construction began immediately.
In 1836 the breakwater and lighthouse began to take shape. The completion of the new additions was halted because of a lack of funds. But in 1854 construction began again and once the breakwater was finished, the lighthouse was erected. It was a small, octagonal tower, complete with a Sixth Order Fresnel Lens.

The Rose Island Lighthouse was built atop a circular bastion on the remains of Fort Hamilton. Located at the southern tip of the island, the fortification dates back to the British occupation of Newport during the Revolutionary War. After the Revolution a brilliant French engineer and war hero, Louis Tousard, fortified the stonework.
Construction of the brick and wood lighthouse began in 1869 to guide mariners into Narragansett Bay. Designed with a mansard roof, patterned slate shingles and ornate window and door trimmings, the sentinel was an architectural masterpiece. On January 20, 1870 the light was illuminated for the first time. Magnified by a Sixth Order Fresnel Lens, the light had a fifty-foot focal plane, the fixed red beacon was visible for six nautical miles. Fifteen years later a fog bell was installed.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness " The Declaration of Independence.
Following the American Civil War, a group of French intellectuals gathered to toast the future of the United States of America. They wanted to express their support to the patriots in the New World by presenting a monument to American independence. The concept of a project of such scope and grandeur caught the imagination of Frederic Auguste Bartholdi who sculpted the original model of The Statue of Liberty.
