Newburyport Harbor Light, Waterfront lighthouse in Newburyport, United States.
The Newburyport Harbor Light features a white brick tower rising 13.5 meters high with a black lantern room and an iron balcony along the river.
The lighthouse began operations in 1788 and underwent major reconstruction in 1898, serving as a critical navigation aid for vessels entering the Merrimack River.
The lighthouse represents the evolution of maritime navigation technology, maintaining one of five original glass Fresnel lenses still operating in Massachusetts.
Located at 61½ Water Street, the lighthouse operates with a characteristic pattern of two green flashes every 15 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles.
The tower displays an asymmetrical paint scheme, with its river-facing side painted entirely white while the remaining surfaces maintain their natural brick appearance.
