Navesink Twin Lights
The First U.S. Lighthouse to Use a Fresnel Lens
Great Lighthouses of North America
Most lighthouses have only one tower. Navesink Twin Lights has two, and it looks very much like an ancient castle. Located near Highlands, New Jersey, this was the first lighthouse in the United States to use the Fresnel lens. It was also the first primary lighthouse to make its own electricity.
