An offshore lighthouse built on pilings is a distinctive kind of structure, raised on legs above the water rather than rooted on a rocky island or a headland. Seen from above in this black and white aerial view, its slender tower and the open platform beneath it stand out against the sea, showing how the builders kept the light clear of waves and shifting sand. Pile-supported lights like this were often used in shallow bays and sounds along the American coast, where solid foundations were hard to find. Aerial views of such stations are useful for studying their layout, from the walkways and dwelling house to the way the pilings spread across the water.
