East Chop Light, Maritime lighthouse at Oak Bluffs, US.
The cast iron cylindrical tower with a circular gallery stands 14 meters high on the eastern shore of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.
Built in 1878 to replace a private lighthouse constructed by Captain Silas Daggett, the structure received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1987.
The lighthouse remains a central element of Martha's Vineyard maritime heritage, serving as a navigation aid and educational center for coastal history.
Visitors can access the lighthouse during summer Sundays and special occasions, with guided tours provided by the Martha's Vineyard Museum.
The structure changed colors through its history, from white to reddish-brown in the 1880s, maintaining this shade until returning to white in 1988.
