This rare aerial perspective of Scituate Lighthouse under restoration—captured on July 7, 2023—offers an intimate look at a piece of maritime history mid-renewal. Shot directly from above, the image reveals the octagonal tower’s bare brickwork and ongoing structural framing as craftsmen work to preserve its enduring legacy.
From this view, we see not just a lighthouse, but the craftsmanship of generations: aged brickwork, modern scaffolding, and the unmistakable lines of a historic New England structure being carefully brought back to life. The rocky breakwater and surrounding shoreline frame the scene, reminding us how central this light has been to the seafaring stories of the Massachusetts coast.
Scituate Light has stood guard since 1811. With each bolt and board placed in this current restoration, it stands ready to face another century of Atlantic wind and tide.
