Three Sisters of Nauset, Historic lighthouse trio in Eastham, Massachusetts, US.
The Three Sisters of Nauset consist of three 15-foot wooden towers spaced 150 feet apart, each painted white with black lantern decks.
Congress commissioned these navigational structures in 1837 for $10,000 to assist ships traversing the dangerous waters between existing lights in Truro and Chatham.
The towers received their name because their appearance resembled three women wearing white dresses and black bonnets standing along the coastline.
The National Park Service offers guided tours of the Three Sisters during summer months, with access via a short walk west from Nauset Light on Cable Road.
These lighthouses moved location three times due to coastal erosion, with their final 1983 repositioning placing them 1,800 feet west of Nauset Light.
