Somers Cove Light

The Somers Cove Light was a screw-pile lighthouse located near Crisfield, Maryland.

Dismantled early, its remains are a landmark to watermen in the area.

Little is known about this minor light, other than that it was constructed in 1867 to at the cost of $10,000 (equivalent to $218,000 in 2023).

[1] Unlike many other screw-pile lighthouses it was apparently never threatened by ice, and thus passed a quiet life until it was dismantled in 1932, replaced by a skeleton tower.

The ferry to Tangier Island passes its remains.
