Latimer Reef Light, Lighthouse in Fishers Island Sound, United States.
The cylindrical cast iron tower rises 49 feet above the water surface with a white exterior marked by a brown band and base.
The lighthouse began operations in 1884 after replacing a series of lightships that had marked the dangerous Latimer Reef since 1849.
Maritime navigation records from the early 1900s document the challenges faced by keepers maintaining the light and fog signals in extreme weather conditions.
The structure operates with solar power and emits a white flash every six seconds, visible up to nine nautical miles across Fishers Island Sound.
The lighthouse received its name from James Latemore, who was captured by British forces while conducting surveillance during the Revolutionary War.
