Status check, 2026-11: The Class of 1945 gave this charted navigation light and memorial to the Naval Academy; its globe holds water USS Triton collected from 22 seas, and the 25 ft figure may be the height of the light above water, not the tower, so I left height null. It stands at 38.9817° N, 76.4767° W.
