Additional Description: The three beacons in Eastham differentiated them from the single light in Truro and the two lights in Chatham. The towers shown here, erected in 1892, were known as the "Three Sisters." They now stand 1/3 mile away off the Cable Road. A rotating Fresnel lens allowed Nauset Station to change to a single beacon in 1911. Notice the round brick foundation under the tower It can be seen on the beach in the main photo and is still sometimes visible at low tide.
