Edgartown Light
- Now Retired   Harbour Lights,
creators of the worlds most popular collectible lighthouses,
chose Edgartown Lighthouse as a Special Piece. It was
available in our shop for the ONE DAY event has long been Retired
by Harbour Lights. * We still have
a few Stock
The Edgartown Harbor Light was
the first lighthouse constructed at the Edgartown Harbor entrance.
The first light was built in 1828 when Congress appropriated
$5,500 so the federal government could purchase a plot of land
from Seth Vincent for $80, and build a light at the entrance
to the Harbor. The first Edgartown Light was destroyed in the
Hurricane of 1938. In 1939, the United States Coast Guard demolished
the existing buildings and installed an 1881 vintage cast-iron
tower relocated from Ipswich (MA) Rear Range Light. When reconstructed
at the mouth of Edgartown Harbor, the relocated conical tower
was fitted with the fourth-order Fresnel lens, electrified, and
automated.
The price of the Edgartown Lighthouse
is $79.00 which includes FREE Shipping within the lower 48 states (email or call
for shipping to other locations).Limited Quantities Available
Gay Head Light
- Now Retired
Harbour Lights chose Gay Head Lighthouse
as a special limited edition release. GAY HEAD LIGHT has
now been Retired by Harbour Lights. This replica
is shown with the long gone original keepers house. * We still have a few Stock
Located at western tip of Martha's Vineyard and stretching
from the base of the Gay Head cliffs to the Elizabeth Islands,
the shoals of Devil's Bridge await unsuspecting ships. Here perched
atop the cliffs the Gay Head Lighthouse guides sailors
through treacherous rocks and shifting sands.
An original wooden structure, built in 1799, was replaced
by the present 51 foot brick tower in the mid-1850's. In 1902
the handsome keeper's quarters, reflected in our sculpture, was
constructed. This dwelling was demolished in 1956 and most people
today do not know of its existence.
The price of the Gay Head Lighthouse
is $99.00 which includes FREE Shipping within the lower 48 states (email or call
for shipping to other locations). In Stock
