Status check, 2026-11: The original rubblestone tower (remodeled 1858) still stands. It was deactivated in 1937 and became active again in about 2008 after a 2007 storm destroyed the skeletal replacement tower. Most sources say 1829, but one says it was first lit in November 1828, so the year is left blank; 51 ft is the overall tower height, and the 42 ft figure is base to focal plane.
