Marblehead Light, Historic lighthouse in Marblehead, United States.
The cylindrical metal tower rises 32 meters above the Massachusetts coast with a black lantern and light brown painted exterior structure.
The original brick lighthouse from 1835 was replaced in 1895 with an eight-legged iron structure, featuring a sixth-order Fresnel lens and whale oil lamps.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this Massachusetts lighthouse in 1987, recognizing its architectural and maritime significance along the Atlantic coast.
The lighthouse currently displays a continuous green light visible up to seven nautical miles, serving as a navigational aid for maritime traffic.
Bronze memorial plaques mark the location where the keeper's house once stood before its demolition in the 1960s.
