Brick towers replaced them in 1841, and when the bluff eroded a new pair went up farther back in 1877. In 1923 the northern tower was moved about twelve miles up the coast to become Nauset Light. The remaining tower, cast iron lined with brick and about 48 feet tall, still works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe keeper's house is now an active Coast Guard station, with boats heading out over one of the hardest bars on the East Coast.
