Wings Neck Lighthouse

 Pocasset, Massachusetts
On Buzzards Bay

Built in 1849, Wings Neck Lighthouse helped with navigation
into and out of Buzzard's Bay.
    In 1914, the Cape Cod Canal was opened and Wings Neck
Lighthouse was needed even more by the increase in
sea traffic.

An automated light on a separate tower was built in 1943
to replace the Wings Neck Lighthouse.

The original lighthouse and keeper's house is now private property
and you should respect the owner's privacy.
