Annisquam Light, the lighthouse at the mouth of the Annisquam River on Cape Ann in Gloucester, Massachusetts, is the subject here, shown in a view made between 1900 and 1920. The picture comes from the Detroit Publishing Company, a firm that produced large numbers of photographic views of American towns, landscapes and coastal sites for sale to tourists and travelers in that period. The tower sits on a rocky point where the river meets the harbor, a working aid to navigation guiding vessels past shoals along the Cape Ann shore. Early twentieth-century views like this one record how such lights looked to summer visitors and passing mariners alike.
