Claim: The Bells Rock Light, a lighthouse, which constructed in 1881 on the York River, a 55 kilometer-long river in eastern Virginia, United States, was removed in 1928 due to diminished commercial traffic.
Evidence: In the nineteenth century, West Point, Virginia was the head of navigation on the York River, and this light was requested in order to facilitate navigation there. A house was built for it at Lazaretto Point in 1880, but this was diverted to Thimble Shoal Light when the latter burned down. A second house was constructed and installed on this spot in 1881. The Bells Rock Light was a lighthouse located in the York River in Virginia. The York River is a navigable estuary, approximately 34 miles (55 km) long, in eastern Virginia in the United States. The diminishing of commercial traffic on the river made the light less important, and in 1928 the house was removed and a skeleton tower erected on the iron foundation.
