A stone lighthouse was built in its place in 1860 and still stands today. When Chicago bartenders Lewis Williams and Tom Newman began bottling their “Cohasset Punch” in 1899 — inspired by a recent visit to Cohasset — they selected an image of Minot’s Ledge Light to adorn every bottle.

At the time, a nearby lighthouse warning against this navigational hazard was under construction, but had not yet been lit. This new lighthouse, built on iron pilings on Minot’s Ledge, was lit for the first time in January, 1850, but was destroyed in a storm just over one year later.
