Bridge and Lighthouses - Cape Cod


The Sagamore Bridge crosses Cape Cod Canal
which separates Cape Cod from the rest of Mass.
The canal is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway and is just over 17 miles long.



Both of the above pictures are of Cape Cod
(Highland) Lighthouse which is located in Truro.
The lighthouse is the oldest and best known which
was established in 1798.




Nauset Beach Light current was
moved from Chatham where it had
been part of a twin-tower, two
light system since 1877. Nauset Light
replaced the "Three Sisters of Nauset"
which was a set of three lighthouses dating
back to 1838. The Three Sisters had to be
removed due to erosion.
