Coxsackie Light, Lighthouse in Greene County, United States.
A brick lighthouse with a square red tower and granite trimmings stands at 32 feet high on the northern end of Low Island.
The lighthouse operated from 1830 to 1940, directing ships through the narrow channel between Rattlesnake Island and the eastern bank of the Hudson River.
The Smithsonian National Museum of American History maintains a collection of 272 digitized postcards featuring this maritime navigation structure.
The former lighthouse location remains visible from boats navigating the Hudson River near the current Coxsackie Yacht Club metal light tower.
The lighthouse withstood a recorded earthquake in 1886, with tremors lasting one minute without producing any sound at the location.
