Boston Light
The First Lighthouse in North America
Great Lighthouses of North America
War has not been kind to Boston Light. During the American Revolution, the lighthouse was blown up and a new one had to be built. The lighthouse was also affected by wars in later years. Its lights were dimmed or put out in WWI and WWII so that enemy troops would not be guided by its beam.
