The Coffee Pot | One of 25 lighthouses in New York | DRONE view | Amazing ORIENT POINT LIGHTHOUSE

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Check out this excellent drone video of a famous lighthouse off of New York's Long Island, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot alexkarry. Orient Point Light is what's known as a sparkplug lighthouse (built on what is in effect a tiny man-made island), between the island's North Fork and Plum Island, on the boundary between Long Island Sound and Gardiner's Bay. Standing 52 ft. tall (around 16 meters), the lighthouse was completed in 1899. It's currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

A Bird's-Eye View of Lighthouse By Drone. This classic old lighthouse has been in the middle of Plum Gut forever. It still serves its purpose! The Orient light sits five degrees out of plumb. The light was built on the Oyster Point Reef to help mariners navigate through Plum Gut, which runs between the reef and Plum Island. The light was declared unsafe for servicing personnel,l and uneconomical to repair in 1970 by the Coast Guard. Public interest in saving the light resulted in its sandblasting and coating with epoxy. After three years of deactivation, the light was put back in service. Thank you so much for your continuous love and support. I hope you enjoy this video, please like, comment and subscribe!
