caption_attribution_description: English: Buzzards Bay Entrance Light, original Texas Tower, about 1961. Massachusetts, USA
context_page_description: Buzzards Bay Entrance Light is a lighthouse located in open water at the entrance to Buzzards Bay, about four nautical miles west southwest of Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts.
  The light has a racon showing the letter "B". The new light tower is similar to the new Ambrose Light built in 1999 but dismantled in 2008 after a ship struck it.
  In 1996 the present structure replaced a Texas Tower built in 1961, which in turn had replaced the lightships Hens & Chickens and Vineyard Sound. Since it sits in water 50 ft deep, a conventional lighthouse would have been difficult, forcing the choice of structure.
