Description
Nauset Light, a landmark red and white lighthouse at Nauset Light Beach in Eastham MA on Cape Cod Massachusetts USA in the fall. Wide angle view with dramatic clouds and sky on an autumn day. A memento of beautiful Cape Cod and a timeless addition to your photography collection.
This lighthouse, which originally stood in Chatham, Massachusetts, is the inspiration for the logo on the Cape Cod Potato Chips bag. It was built in 1877 and was one of twin lighthouses in Chatham until 1923 when it was dismantled and moved to Eastham to replace the Three Sisters lighthouses. It received its distinct red and white paint in the 1940s. Coastal erosion threatened the lighthouse and in 1996 it was moved 300 feet all in one piece. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
