Triton Light, Navigation lighthouse at United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, United States
The Triton Light stands 25 feet tall on the seawall where the Severn River meets Spa Creek and the Annapolis harbor.
The lighthouse began operations in 1959 as a donation from the Class of 1945 to the United States Naval Academy, named after the Greek deity.
The lighthouse holds special importance among United States Naval Academy midshipmen, with a secret society dedicated to its preservation and traditions.
The seawall from Triton Light to College Creek measures exactly half a nautical mile, providing vessels with a precise distance for speed calibration.
The structure contains water samples from different seas collected during USS Triton submarine's global circumnavigation journey in 1960.
