Cormorant Rock, Rocky island near Marblehead Harbor, Massachusetts, US
Cormorant Rock stands approximately 300 feet from the southeastern tip of Children's Island, forming a distinct geographical feature in the marine landscape.
The Marblehead Marine Society installed a 40-foot navigational beacon on this rock in 1808 to guide ships through the waters of Salem Harbor.
Local maritime organizations continue their long tradition of monitoring and maintaining navigational safety measures around the rock for vessel protection.
Visitors need boats or kayaks to reach the rock, and marine navigation skills are essential due to the surrounding water conditions.
The rock, formerly known as Cat Island Rock and Eastern Rock of Cat Island, belongs to Salem despite its proximity to Marblehead.
