Ten lighthouses that for generations have stood like sentinels along America’s shorelines protecting mariners from peril and guiding them to safety are being given away at no cost or sold at auction by the federal government.
They include the 34-foot tall Plymouth/Gurnet Light in Massachusetts. The octagonal wooden structure dates to 1842, although a lighthouse has been at the site since 1768. A previous beacon at the site was staffed by America’s first female lighthouse keeper.
“Warwick Neck is really at quite a prominent location up on a cliff overlooking Narragansett Bay,” he said. “That’s probably one that I would say that has a real ‘Wow’ factor when you get out and look at it.” Some are already maintained by nonprofits, and those agencies will have the opportunity to apply to continue doing do, Kelly said.The four lighthouses being sold at auction include Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Light, a 50-foot steel tower dating to 1911 that is only accessible by boat but has spectacular views of the city skyline.
