Seen from the grounds near the abandoned fog signal building, this view looks west at the Block Island Southeast Light on the Mohegan Bluffs. The tower was completed in 1875 to warn ships off the island's dangerous southeastern shore, where rocky ledges and fog were serious hazards. Coastal erosion later threatened the bluff-top station, and in 1993 the lighthouse was moved inland, a major engineering feat for a brick tower of its size. The fog signal building, no longer in use, is a reminder of the station's role before modern navigation aids replaced it.
