Lighthouse · Cape Vincent, New York

Cape Vincent Breakwater Lighthouse

The tower was first lit in 1904 and no longer serves as a light for ships. A small square wooden tower from the end of the Cape Vincent breakwater, moved ashore in 1951; it stands beside NY 12E at the south entrance to the village.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Cape Vincent Village Green, 1.1 km (0.7 mi) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. New York's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when New York arrives.
