Situated on Pine Island, its presence would have been a welcome sight for mariners navigating these waters, guiding them safely past potential hazards or into nearby harbors. For decades, its light served as a reliable aid to navigation, a constant presence in both calm seas and stormy weather, enduring the harsh coastal elements.
