About the lighthouse:
Built in 1860 of native New England gray granite, this solitary structure stands vigil to warn mariners of the deadly submerged rocks off the coast of Cohasset. The present lighthouse replaced an earlier one, which was ravaged by a storm that resulted in the lost lives of the then-keepers. The 89-foot tower, which was constructed with great difficulty, anchored to a submerged ledge, has a second-order lens that can be seen for about 15 miles. Its light flashes once, then four times, then three times, dubbing it the "I Love You" Light. Overall lamp height is 25".

This 102-foot lighthouse, built in 1884 with a square pyramidal skeleton superstructure, is located at the east end of Sanibel Island. Its third-order lens had to be retrieved from the ocean floor by divers, when the ship transporting it from Europe sank en route. Sanibel is still active today, emitting its bright beacon to sailors and ships in the Gulf of Mexico. Overall lamp height is 25".
