The official name of the Ipswich Lighthouse was the Ipswich Rear Range Lighthouse. Located in Ipswich, Massachusetts, it was automated in 1932 and later discontinued. In 1939 contractor Theodore Loranger of New Bedford, Massachusetts was hired by the government to dismantle the lighthouse and transport it to the Chelsea Lighthouse Depot where it was refurbished and then transported to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts to replace the old Edgartown Lighthouse that had been damaged beyond repair in a hurricane. It still stands there to this day. (Lighthouse Digest archives photo, Robert J. Lewis collection.)
