    I’ve been fishing and boating in the harbor all my life and I throughly believe that Boston Light is still very important for navigation in the harbor. No matter how many electronics you have nothing can compare to the many shifting shoals, reefs and sandbars in the harbor and to get a bearing at night from the lighthouse gives you more self confidence as to were you exactly are.

    The engineers and designers of that era were really brilliant! And the craftsmen and laborers that built the lighthouse were highly skilled and tough too! What a great video! 🙂

    It is hilariously miraculous that I just watched this video a few days ago and right after went to Goodwill. I FOUND A GLASS DECORATION OF BOSTON LIGHT THERE AND, DUH, I HAD TO BUY IT!!! XD
    Amazing...

    1783 is not 300 years. It's still very old..but Sandy Hook Light House a few hundred miles to the south west is the oldest.

    I photographed this lighthouse from the aircraft on approach to Logan. I knew nothing of its history before today.

      Big Bay lighthouse in the upper peninsula of Michigan is a bed and breakfast. Whitefish point has also recently added over night stays and white shoal I believe will be soon. But Big Bay is the only one that I've known for ppl to say is haunted. Ive wanted to go for years!

    America's first lighthouse is the Barra Lighthouse (Farol da Barra), located in the city of Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil. First built in 1698, and rebuilt in 1839.
