Ragged Point Light | |
![]() Ragged Point Light was one of the first lighthouses to be dismantled. It was deactivated in 1962. The current light is a tower built on the original foundation. It can be viewed from shore at the marina at Ragged Point in Virginia. On August 21, 1862 off Ragged Point, there was a collision between the steamers Peabody and West Point, involving the loss of seventy-three lives. The West Point was from Newport News, with convalescent troops of General Burnside's army. | |
