Lighthouses...There are five on Martha's Vineyard. West Chop Lighthouse was originally built in 1817 and was, more recently, the last to have had a lighthouse keeper. East Chop Lighthouse is in Oak Bluffs, once called the "Chocolate Lighthouse" until 1988 when it was painted white. Edgartown Lighthouse once sat on its own man-made island, until sands sifted in between it and the shore. Gay Head Lighthouse sits on the cliffs and is lit each evening. Cape Poge Lighthouse has had several incarnations, having been destroyed by the sea and rebuilt several times, the last in 1922. In 1985, it was moved, curiously enough, by helicopter to its present site. It is the least accessible of the lighthouses.
