Cape Vincent Breakwater Lighthouse

Cape Vincent sketch

 

In 1900, a pair of squat towers were built to mark the ends of the breakwall at the town of Cape Vincent. The lights were deactivated in 1934, and one of them was moved to the present site in 1951. The lighthouse now marks the entrance to the town.
