The tower, first lit in 1846, is dark now. The working light stands nearby. A cast iron tower on a private island west of Burlington, the oldest surviving cast iron lighthouse in the country; the light has been on a skeleton tower beside it since 1954.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Burlington Fishing Pier, 5.3 km (3.3 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. Vermont'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 Vermont arrives.
