Orient Point Light, Maritime beacon in Suffolk County, United States
Orient Point Light consists of a black conical tower with a white band, standing 16 meters tall at the entrance of Orient Harbor.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1899 after previous beacon attempts, replaced a stone pyramid structure that ice displaced in 1896.
The lighthouse represents maritime engineering methods of the 19th century and continues to guide vessels through Long Island Sound waters.
The structure contains six interior decks and maintains automated operation since 1958, serving as a critical navigation point for maritime traffic.
The cast iron construction required additional reinforcement due to structural concerns, leading to modifications that improved its long-term stability.
