This light was built in 1898 and was automated in 1978. Previously it had a 4th order Fresnel lens, today it uses LED. The light is white and flashes ever 4 seconds.

The lighthouse is visible from Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford MA. I parked in a lot at N 41 35.921 W 70 54.204. I took photos from the near by pier at N 41 36.019 W 70 54.074.
