Boston Light Photographer: Brent Michael Erb Since 1716, vessels approaching Boston have been safely guided into the harbor by a light on the rocky south side of Little Brewster Island. On this site, the first lighthouse in North America was destroyed by the British in 1776. The reconstructed 89-foot tower, completed in 1783, is made up of rubble stone, granite, and brick, and is one of the last remaining lighthouses to retain a Coast Guard Keeper. This lighthouse, photographed from a helicopter in this image, is now open for visitors to Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. http://www.bostonislands.org/events_bostonlight.html If you
