Navassa Island Light, Maritime navigation point in Caribbean Sea, Haiti.
Navassa Island Light is a stone and concrete lighthouse rising from a remote rocky island in the Caribbean. The structure was designed to guide ships navigating the waters between Cuba and Haiti.
The light was built in 1917 to serve growing maritime traffic in Caribbean waters. It remained operational 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 island sits within the Navassa Island National Wildlife Refuge and is closed to regular visitors. Access requires special permits from the relevant authorities.
With a focal height of 395 feet, this lighthouse ranks as the twelfth tallest tower among all United States lighthouses.
