Cleveland Ledge Lighthouse
Near Pocasset, MA

History:
This is a 50-foot conical, steel and reinforced concrete tower anchored on the Cleveland Ledge Channel of Buzzards Bay, just west of Cape Cod. The Ledge was named for President Grover Cleveland.

The Light, flashing 70 feet above the water, was built in 1943 and automated in 1978. The tower sits on 2 stories set up as living quarters over the engine room and supply tanks. The entire structure rests on a 52-foot cylindrical caisson pier.

A 190mm lens flashes white every 10s and a fog signal blasts every 15s.
