Manhattan: Fort Washington Park - [Lighthouse.]

Fort Washington Park: A view showing Manhattan's only lighthouse nestling beneath the George Washington Bridge. This sets on a promontory formerly known as Jeffery's Hook. A moon shaped battery, built here in 1775, overlooked the spot where ships were sunk to obstruct the British fleet during the American Revolution. October 21, 1938 George D. Chinn
