Wordless Wednesday...Montauk Lighthouse

In honor of it recently being named a  National Historic Landmark...
"Welcome to the Montauk Point Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in New York State. The Lighthouse was authorized by the Second Congress, under President George Washington, in 1792. Construction began on June 7, 1796 and was completed on November 5, 1796. This historic landmark has been part of Long Island's land and seascape for over 200 years and still serves as an active aid to navigation."






Montauk Fisherman Memorial



 


...as always, for more Wordless Wednesday, check these out.

    The fisherman's statue is too good. What a hard life for them.

    Cool how the people in the second picture give perspective to just how huge the lighthouse is.

    Interesting view from the hilltop it's hard to tell if the waves are coming or going.

    Very nice. Whenever I see your photos of lighthouses, I want to go visit the ones on our Oregon coast. I wonder if they're set up for visitors.

    Charming lighthouse in a really beautiful landscape! And I am amazed that construction over 200 years ago took just five months.

    Great photos as always!
    You know, despite the number of times I have been to Long Island (growing up in the NYC metro area), I never made it all the way out to Montauk...
