Lighthouse · St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
Hams Bluff Lighthouse
The tower, first lit in 1915, is dark now. The working light, two white flashes every 30 seconds, stands nearby, about 10 m away. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built by Denmark on the bluff at the northwest corner of St. Croix, the cast iron tower has been dark since about 2010; a short trail from the end of Hams Bluff Road leads to it.
