Upper Cedar Point Light

The Upper Cedar Point Light was a screw-pile lighthouse in the Potomac River in Maryland.

It served until 1876, when the Mathias Point Light was constructed to the east.

The Lighthouse Board received numerous complaints, however, and reactivated the light in 1882.

Five years after the lighthouse was re-lit, Thomas Edwin Speake was the keeper.

It remained active until 1963, when it was dismantled and replaced with a small automatic tower mounted on the original foundation.
