Plum Island Lighthouse, on Plum Island, near Newburyport, Massachusetts, was established in 1788. The original light station was composed of two towers, but today only one white conical tower built in 1788 and rebuilt in 1898 remains on Plum Island. It is 50 feet above water and the 3,000-candlepower, fourth-order electric light is visible for 13 miles. Presently owned by the city of Newburyport, it is still an active aid to navigation.
