Bakers Island Light, Historical lighthouse on Bakers Island, Salem, United States.
The white conical tower rises 18 meters above Salem Sound, featuring a black lantern room at its pinnacle and guiding vessels through coastal waters.
The original structure from 1791 consisted of two lights on a keeper's house, replaced in 1820 by a round stone tower that remains today.
The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Massachusetts, playing a central role in the development of Salem's naval commerce and navigation history.
Access to the lighthouse is available through boat tours departing from Salem Ferry Dock during summer months aboard the landing craft Naumkeag.
The lighthouse earned the nickname 'Ma Baker' when it stood alongside a shorter tower called 'Pa Baker' until the latter's removal in 1926.
