Edgartown Harbor Lighthouse, 2/17/2024. This was our third stop on our Martha’s Vineyard trip last year. This cast iron lighthouse was originally built in 1881 and served as a rear range light on Crane’s Beach in Ipswich, Massachusetts, but was dismantled and moved to Edgartown Harbor when the hurricane of 1938 destroyed the lighthouse that had stood there since 1828. Today, it is managed by the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, and while still an active aid to navigation, it is the centerpiece of a Children’s Memorial to remember and honor children from around the world who have passed: the children’s names are carved in granite cobblestones that are placed into the foundation of the lighthouse. It is a very accessible lighthouse that, in the warmer seasons, is open for tours. We visited in the heart of the off season, so we were able to admire it from the outside only. The pictures don’t do it justice: it is an incredibly beautiful spot.

East Chop Lighthouse, 2/17/2024. This was the second stop on our Martha’s Vineyard trip last year. The East Chop Lighthouse sits in the center of a little park overlooking the entrance to the Vineyard Haven Harbor. Unlike the West Chop Lighthouse, we could walk right up to it, and because it was February, no one else was around and we had it to ourselves. According to lighthousefriends.com, it was originally painted white, but for about a hundred years it was painted reddish-brown and was often referred to as the “Chocolate Lighthouse.” It was only in 1988 that it was again painted white — good call, IMO.

West Chop Lighthouse, 2/17/2024. My wife and I took a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard last year and hunted four of the island’s five lighthouses. First stop was the one closest to the ferry, West Chop Lighthouse, which is an active USCG station. The light snow was a nice touch. The last photo is of a U.S. Lighthouse Establishment marker that I noticed by the fence of the property.

A snow-dusted coastal scene featuring a historic white lighthouse partially hidden behind a classic white house with a steep red shingle roof. The house has black-trimmed windows and a small front porch. A white picket fence runs along the foreground, and bare trees frame the wintry landscape. In the distance, the grey sky and choppy sea blend together under a light snowfall, evoking a peaceful, chilly atmosphere.
A close-up view of a lighthouse tower beside a white house during a light snowfall. The lighthouse is cylindrical, weathered white with rust stains near the top, and crowned with a black iron lantern room and railing. The steep gable roof of the adjacent house, with red shingles and a brick chimney, is partially visible in the foreground. The sky is overcast, and snowflakes gently fall, giving the scene a serene, wintry atmosphere.

A close-up of a weathered granite marker with the letters "U S" carved on the top and "L H E" on the front face, signifying the U.S. Lighthouse Establishment. The stone is surrounded by fallen brown oak leaves, pine needles, and patches of snow. An orange surveyor’s tape is tied around the base of the marker.

Nobska Light, Woods Hole, MA: 8/21/2024. Photos of the lighthouse interior that I took during the twilight tour that I enjoyed last summer.

Photo 1: The spiral staircase leading up to the lantern room.
Photo 2: View from the top. Note the lighthouse-shaped finial.

A dramatic upward view of a spiral staircase inside a brick lighthouse tower. The metal steps curve tightly around the cylindrical brick walls, leading up to a circular ceiling with a central support structure. A single window on the left lets in natural light, casting a soft glow on the warm red bricks and metal railings. The perspective emphasizes the staircase’s elegant, winding form as it disappears into the upper levels.
A scenic coastal view at sunset, captured from a high vantage point behind a black metal railing. Below, a charming shingled house with a steep red roof and bright red door is bathed in warm golden light. A paved walkway leads to the entrance, with a black metal handrail guiding the way. Beyond the house, a curving shoreline with a sandy beach and scattered rocks stretches along the calm blue ocean. A winding road follows the coastline, passing by trees, parked cars, and a few houses nestled in the lush green landscape.

Nobska Light, Woods Hole, MA: 8/21/2024. I’ve visited Nobska many times, but this was the first time I had the chance to climb it. This was a “twilight tour” of the lighthouse, and our tour guide was great: very friendly and informative. This was also the first time I was able to visit the Keeper’s House, which was recently renovated and looks fantastic.

A classic white lighthouse with a black lantern room stands on a grassy hill at dusk, bathed in soft pink and blue hues from the fading sunlight. To the left, an American flag flutters on a tall flagpole beside a charming shingled house with a red roof and a warmly lit doorway. Two people in jackets stand near the house, adding a human element to the peaceful coastal scene. In the background, the ocean stretches toward the horizon, meeting the twilight sky in a gradient of deep blues and purples.

Empfehlenswert, aber sehr umfassend ist ein Besuch im War Museum in Fort St. Elmo. Der Titel trügt etwas, denn das Museum veranschaulicht eigentlich die gesamte politische Geschichte der Insel und ist kein heeresgeschichtliches Museum.

Vom Fort aus, aber auch von diversen öffentlichen Parks aus, hat man einen super Blick auf den Hafen und das Meer direkt vor Valetta.

Zu Mittag gegessen haben wir übrigens in einem Restaurant namens "Cheeky Monkey", dessen Logo ein trinkender Affe ist. Pretty weird.

Cape Elizabeth Lighthouses, Cape Elizabeth, Maine, 4/11/2024. These twin lights were both built in 1874. I visited Two Lights State Park once before, many, many years ago, and I recall it was difficult to get a good view of either of them. It’s even more overgrown today, and the lighthouses are now not visible at all from the park; but you can get a fine view (of the east tower at least) at the end of Two Lights Road. The east tower is widely familiar, thanks to Edward Hopper’s paintings, most notably “The Lighthouse at Two Lights.” It is still in use as an active aid to navigation and the optic is maintained by the USCG. The residence is privately owned. The west tower was discontinued as a lighthouse in 1924. During WWII the lantern room was removed and the tower was converted into a lookout post. The west tower and residence are now both privately owned.

Photos:
1.) The east tower viewed from Two Lights Terrace
2.) The east tower viewed from the end of Two Lights Road
3.) The decommissioned west light, now used as a fire lookout, viewed from Two Lights Terrace. Kinda reminds me of an Imperial Stormtrooper from Star Wars 🤷🏻‍♂️

A large white house with a steep gabled roof, decorative trim, and a red brick chimney sits on a grassy hill. Attached to the house is a tall white lighthouse with a black lantern room and a weathered dome-shaped roof. A flagpole stands in front of the lighthouse. The sky is overcast, and the lawn in the foreground is lined with small plants and a paved walkway leading to the house.
A tall white lighthouse with a black lantern room and a weathered copper dome stands against an overcast gray sky. A black railing encircles the top platform. Leafless trees and shrubs partially obscure the base of the lighthouse. To the left, part of a white house with a covered porch and white columns is visible. The surrounding ground is covered with grass, rocks, and patches of bare earth.

Attached to the base is a white house with gray roof shingles and a white wooden deck with decorative railings. The house is partially obscured by dry grass and shrubs on a sloping hillside. A lone evergreen tree stands to the left of the lighthouse.
