description

Summary

Significance: The lighthouse was constructed by the United States government after a number of tragic shipwrecks in the vicinity of Absecon Beach were attributed to lack of navigational signals. The beam is higher above sea level than any other light on the New Jersey coast, except the Twin Lights Lighthouse.

Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-561

Survey number: HABS NJ-734

The collection/dataset uses media from the world's largest public domain source Picryl.com.
