Bird Island Light, Navigational lighthouse at Sippican Harbor, Massachusetts, United States.
Bird Island Light features a circular masonry tower stretching 25 feet high with a cast iron lantern house positioned 37 feet above sea level.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1819, served as an essential navigational aid until its deactivation by the US Coast Guard in 1933.
The Bird Island Preservation Society maintains the lighthouse and protects the endangered roseate terns that nest on the island from May through August.
The lighthouse emits a flashing white light every 6 seconds, utilizing an ML-300 lens to guide vessels through the waters near Buzzards Bay.
The structure withstood numerous storms, including the devastating 1869 impact and the New England Hurricane of 1938, which destroyed all buildings except the tower.
