Description
Winter Island Light near Salem, Massachusetts, is also known as the Fort Pickering Lighthouse because it is adjacent to the area which was built as a defense fort in the mid 1500's. Along with two other light stations, it was established in 1871 for the purpose of directing ships into Salem harbor safely, no matter what time of day. It was discontinued in 1969 and relit by the city in 1983. The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
