Cape Poge Light sometimes called Cape Pogue Light is at the northeast tip of Chappaquiddick Island that is part of Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Cape Cod Massachusetts. At least four towers have been built on Cape Poge with many moves. In 1801 the first 35-foot (11 m) wooden Cape Poge Lighthouse was built for $2000. During the War of 1812 the light was extinguished for a few months and its apparatus was hidden in the cellar of a Chappaquiddick house.
