Coast Guard captures beautiful sunrise over America’s first lighthouse
America’s first lighthouse sure looked beautiful on Monday morning.
The U.S. Coast Guard Northeast posted the sunrise photo to its Facebook page, writing, “BREATHTAKING! The sun rising over America’s First Lighthouse – as it has for nearly 300 years!”
Boston Light is located on Little Brewster Island in outer Boston Harbor. The lighthouse is the oldest continually used light station in the country. It was first lit on Sept. 14, 1716. The light is visible for 27 miles and visitors can walk 76 steps to the top.
