About the Light:

  This light once marked a reef that has always been a hazard to the navigation of the port city of Buffalo. Keeper's lived ashore and used boats to tend to the light. In 1920, the Buffalo Crib Light made this light redundant and it was abandoned. The winds and waves have since destroyed all but the steel support skeleton. Other than the gulls, there is not much of interest remaining at this site.
