Stony Point Light, Stone lighthouse at Hudson River, United States.
The stone octagonal lighthouse stands 30 feet tall on the western bank of the Hudson River, marking navigation points for passing vessels.
Built in 1826 by Thomas Phillips, this lighthouse facilitated maritime navigation during the increased river traffic following the Erie Canal completion.
The lighthouse represents maritime heritage through eight dedicated keepers, including Nancy Rose who maintained operations from 1857 to 1904.
Visitors access the lighthouse through Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site, which provides educational tours and exhibits about maritime navigation.
The structure contains a Fourth Order Fresnel lens borrowed from the United States Coast Guard and Hudson River Maritime Museum.
