Cuttyhunk Light was a lighthouse at the west end of Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts.[1][2] First established in 1823, it was rebuilt several times. The last lighthouse was built in 1891, with a 5th order Fresnel Lens in a 45-foot (14 m) tower. This was heavily damaged in the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944 and was torn down in 1947 and replaced by a skeleton tower. The keeper's house was also destroyed. The skeleton tower was discontinued in 2005. Only a stone oil house remains from the lighthouse station, missing its door and roof.
