Plymouth Light, Historic lighthouse at Gurnet Point, Plymouth, United States
The white lighthouse tower rises 10 meters above Gurnet Point, featuring a black lantern and red roof at the entrance to Plymouth Bay.
Built in 1768, Plymouth Light underwent multiple reconstructions, including a transition from single to double lights in 1842 and relocation in 1998.
The lighthouse stands within Fort Andrew earthworks, representing centuries of maritime navigation and colonial settlement along the Massachusetts coast.
Access to Plymouth Light requires traveling through Duxbury to the north, with limited public viewing opportunities from designated waterfront locations.
The property earned distinction for having the first female lighthouse keeper in America and maintains its position on the National Register of Historic Places.
