BOSTON — Ten lighthouses that for generations have stood like sentinels along America’s shorelines protecting mariners from peril and guiding them to safety are being given away at no cost or sold at auction by the federal government.
Yet the public remains fascinated by the beacons, which are popular tourist attractions and the subject of countless photographers and artists. Plymouth Light Station, with an octagonal wooden structure dates to 1842, stands near Cape Cod Bay and Plymouth Bay, April 5, 2023, in Plymouth, Mass. The federal government's annual effort to give away or sell lighthouses that are no longer needed for navigation purposes includes 10 lighthouses this year.
This year, six lighthouses are being offered at no cost to federal, state or local government agencies, nonprofits, educational organizations or other entities that are willing to maintain and preserve them and make them publicly available for educational, recreational or cultural purposes.
