Buzzards Bay Entrance Light

Buzzards Bay Entrance Light is a lighthouse located in open water at the entrance to Buzzards Bay, about four nautical miles west southwest of Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts. The light has a racon showing the letter "B".
In 1996 the present structure replaced a Texas Tower built in 1961, which in turn had replaced the lightships Hens & Chickens and Vineyard Sound. Since it sits in water 50 ft deep, a conventional lighthouse would have been difficult, forcing the choice of structure.
