A tapered stone tower standing alone on open water sets this scene apart from the harbor and shoreline views on this board. Lighthouses of this kind were built along the Massachusetts coast to mark ledges, shoals, and the approaches to busy ports, and their narrowing stone walls gave them the weight and strength to withstand Atlantic gales. Keepers once climbed the stairs each evening to light the lamp and wind the clockwork that turned it, so the tower was both a working navigational aid and a remote posting. The calm water here is worth noticing, since these same waters could turn rough within hours.
