The Eastern Point Lighthouse, located in Gloucester, Massachusetts, has been a beacon of maritime history for nearly 200 years. Immortalized by the brushstrokes of landscape painter Winslow Homer and featured in the film The Perfect Storm, this lighthouse stands as a testament to New England’s seafaring heritage. Nestled on the National Register of Historic Places, it is flanked by a wildlife sanctuary that provides visitors with sweeping coastal views.
