Bloody Point Bar Light, Caisson lighthouse in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, US.
The circular iron structure rises 54 feet above water level and features a caisson foundation at the northern entrance to Eastern Bay.
The lighthouse construction began in 1882 after multiple petitions since 1868, requiring an investment of 25,000 dollars from Congress.
The name derives from local events including Native American conflicts and naval battles near the southern tip of Kent Island.
The lighthouse emits white flashing signals every six seconds with two red sectors, reaching nine miles for white light and seven for red.
An electrical fire in 1960 destroyed the interior of the structure, leading to its automation and subsequent decline in maintenance.
