Hams Bluff Light, Maritime beacon on Saint Croix, US
The lighthouse rises 35 feet above Hams Bluff, featuring a conical structure with a balcony and lantern that guides vessels in the Caribbean Sea.
Built in 1915 under Danish administration, the lighthouse later transferred to United States control and received National Register of Historic Places status in 2019.
The structure represents early 20th century maritime engineering and stands as a testament to the naval heritage of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The current beacon, mounted on a metal skeletal tower, emits two white flashes every 30 seconds from a height of 394 feet above sea level.
The lighthouse maintains its original 1915 tower while operating from a separate modern structure, combining historical preservation with contemporary navigation requirements.
