Lighthouse · Vieques, Puerto Rico
Faro de Puerto Ferro
The tower was first lit in 1896 and no longer serves as a light for ships. Dark since 1926 and starting to collapse, the ruin stands in the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge on the island's south coast, a short walk from a gravel road; the tower is closed.
