Eastern Point, Gloucester : Eastern Point, at the entrance to Gloucester Harbor, has been home to farms, a quarry, a Civil War fort, a number of summer residences and the Eastern Point Yacht Club. A stone lighthouse, 30 feet high, was erected and first lighted on January 1, 1832. The third and present Eastern Point Light was built in 1890 on the old foundation of the 1832 tower. Then, between 1894 and 1905, a 2,250-foot breakwater in front of the lighthouse was built. At the end of this breakwater is another light, Gloucester Breakwater Light, established to mark dangerous Dog Bar Reef. (Images in this gallery are available for secure purchase online. There are a variety of sizes of prints as well as other gifts available.)

Annisquam Lighthouse at sunrise : The village of Annisquam, located at the mouth of the Annisquam River in Gloucester on Massachusetts' Cape Ann, apparently got its name from the combination of "Ann" and "squam.", an Indian name for a harbor. The first European settlement in Annisquam was established in 1631. In more recent times, artist Winslow Homer and writer Rudyard Kipling spent time at Annisquam, and Russel Crouse and Howard Lindsay wrote The Sound of Music in the picturesque village.

Portsmouth, NH, lighthouse : The large, well-protected harbor of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was an important port in colonial America. In 1771 the Royal Governor John Wentworth had a wooden lighthouse built at Fort William and Mary (later named Fort Constitution) on Great Island, in what is now the town of New Castle in Portsmouth Harbor, about a mile from the mouth of the Piscataqua River. Construction began in April and the tower was first lighted by early July of 1771. The shingled tower was about 50 feet tall and was topped by an iron lantern with a copper roof, with the light produced by three oil lamps made of copper. A new 48-foot cast-iron lighthouse tower was erected in 1878 on the same foundation as the previous tower. The lighthouse was painted a reddish-brownish color until 1902, when it was painted white. Apparently for a time in the early 1920s it was again painted reddish-brown. Since then it has been white.
