Navassa Island Light, Maritime navigation point in Caribbean Sea, Haiti.

The stone and concrete lighthouse stands 46 meters tall on Navassa Island, providing guidance to vessels traveling between Cuba and Haiti.

Built in 1917 to assist maritime traffic, the lighthouse served as a crucial navigation aid until its deactivation in 1996.

The lighthouse represents an era of manual maritime navigation systems, preceding modern technological developments like GPS for ship guidance.

The structure remains inaccessible to visitors as it sits within the Navassa Island National Wildlife Refuge, requiring special permits for access.

With a focal height of 395 feet, this lighthouse ranks as the twelfth tallest tower among all United States lighthouses.
