Sunken Rock Light, Lighthouse on Bush Island in St. Lawrence River, New York, United States.
The white lighthouse stands 9 meters tall with a green lantern atop a conical iron tower built upon a stone foundation.
The original brick beacon, funded by Congress in 1847 for $6,000, marked dangerous underwater rocks near the eastern entrance of Wellesley Island narrows.
The structure appeared in illustrations of the poem 'Geraldine' in 1886, marking its significance in regional maritime literature.
The lighthouse operates automatically with solar power installed in 1988, emitting green flashes every four seconds to guide vessels through the St. Lawrence River.
The entire surface of Bush Island contains only the lighthouse and a boathouse, with no living quarters for keepers who resided in Alexandria Bay.
