Photos from a visit to Chatham, Massachusetts, 22 August 2014.

| The Chatham Lighthouse, the second light on Cape Cod, was established in 1808, Originally consisting of twin octagonal, wooden towers each 40 feet tall, the current lighthouse, built from brick-lined cast iron, was constructed in 1879. An identical tower constructed at the same time was moved 12 miles north in 1923 to become the Nauset Lighthouse. With the light automated since 1982, the keeper's house is now an active U.S. Coast Guard station. |

A tour or fishing charter boat passes a trawler laden with fish--note the seagulls flying around the trawler looking for lunch.
