Gay Head Lighthouse In 1796, Massachusetts State Senator, Peleg Coffin, requested a lighthouse be installed on the Western End of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts overlooking a dangerous section of underwater rocks known as “Devil’s Bridge.Over a century of erosion had threatened the lighthouse to the extent that it would eventually fall into the ocean below. After two and a half years of planning the lighthouse, which weighs 400 tons was moved back from the edge of the bluffs where it sits today.
