About Chatham Lighthouse
Also known as: Chatham Lighthouse
Constructed in 1808, Chatham Lighthouse originally featured two wooden towers. These were replaced in 1841, and again in 1877 with two cast-iron towers. The station was known as Twin Lights until 1923. One of the 1877 towers was relocated and became Nauset Light. The current structure stands 14.5 meters tall with its light positioned at 24 meters above sea level, emitting a white light.
Why it matters: Chatham Lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Background
Chatham Lighthouse, known as Twin Lights prior to 1923, is a lighthouse in Chatham, Massachusetts, near the "elbow" of Cape Cod. The original station, close to the shore, was built in 1808 with two wooden towers, which were both replaced in 1841. In 1877, two new towers, made of cast iron rings, replaced those. One of the towers was moved to the Eastham area, where it became known as Nauset Light in 1923.Light & Optic
