The '''Mathias Point Light''' was a [[screw-pile lighthouse]] in the [[Potomac River]] in [[Maryland]]; the station was located near the [[Port Tobacco River]]. It was particularly noted for its ornate woodwork. |
|||
==History== |
|||
Funds for a light near [[Quantico, Virginia]] were appropriated in 1872. An engineering study recommended instead that lights be built 24 miles downstream, and an appropriation was made in 1874 to build a light on Port Tobacco Flats, with a [[day beacon]] for Matthias Point. By the time construction began the two were switched, and the light was completed in 1876. Matthias Point was like no other screw-pile structure on the bay, with much decorative woodwork and a distinctive three tiered structure that some described as resembling a [[wedding cake]]. |

|||
It was intended that this light replace that at [[Upper Cedar Point Light|Upper Cedar Point]]; in the end the number of complaints led to the latter's reactivation in 1882. Matthias Point Light itself was automated in 1951 and replaced in 1961 by a beacon mounted on the old foundation. |
