Neds Point Light
Neds Point Light
Good Morning and have a great day
One spot I go to for morning walks is Neds Point in Mattapoisett a town not far from where I live, infact with driving on the highway for a good part of the route to get there, it takes me about the same amount of time to get to this spot as it does to a couple of the beaches here in New Bedford.
here are a few shots from a recent visit there my focus being mainly on the lighthouse there

a little bit about the ligthhouse
Ned Point Light as it is official called I believe is a historic lighthouse on Ned's Point Road in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.
The lighthouse was built in 1838 at a cost of approximately $5,000, and named after Ned Dexter, a local farmer. Supervised by a local builder, Leonard Hammond, the lighthouse was constructed with a birdcage-style lantern similar to Bird Island Light found in Marion, Massachusetts.
All the stone used for the construction of the lighthouse was locally sourced, with most of it originating from nearby beaches.
Inside, Which I didn't get to see, are 32 granite steps that are cantilevered to the outside wall without the use of mortar. The original lantern used 11 whale oil lamps, each with its own parabolic reflector. And like other lighthouses I have read up on around here the Whale oil no doubt came from the New Bedford Whaling ships.
The Great Blizzard of 1888 significantly damaged the keeper's stone house, resulting in it being demolished and the building of a wooden replacement.
Following modernization in 1961, the lighthouse was reactivated in 1961 with its current 6-second isophase.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
