Minot’s Ledge Light stands alone off Cohasset, Massachusetts, built where the first lighthouse stood. In 1851, a storm tore the original from its iron legs, taking two keepers with it. The new tower, finished in 1860, was built to last—granite anchored deep in the ledge. Its light flashes 1-4-3—a mariner’s warning, a lover’s message. It's still standing, still getting hammered by waves. You can see it from both the Cohasset and Scituate shores. If you want to get close, you're gonna need a boat.

We did not go to the lighthouse, but saw the memorial dedicated to the men who lost their lives when the first lighthouse was swept out to sea.
