Palmer Island Lighthouse
Palmer Island Light Station is a historic lighthouse in New Bedford Harbor. The lighthouse was built in 1849 out of stone rubble. It was discontinued when the harbor's hurricane barrier was built in the early 1960s, as its location immediately north of the barrier was no longer an outlying danger and there are lights on either side of the barrier opening. As the lighthouse is quite a ways offshore, it is only accessible by boat.
