- Theriault, Albert A. and Elizabeth A. Theriault, NED’S POINT LIGHTHOUSE, MATTAPOISETT, MASSACHUSETTS: A CHRONICLE AND RELATED INFORMATION. Ned’s Point Publishing, 2002. 39 p. Spiral bound. The lighthouse at Ned’s (or Ned ) Point, at the northeast side of the entrance to Mattapoisett Harbor on Buzzard’s Bay, was built in 1837 using rubblestone from a nearby beach. Its 11 lamps and reflectors displayed a fixed white light 41 feet above sea level. In 1923 the keeper’s house was removed, loaded on a barge and floated across Buzzards Bay to Wing’s Neck Light in Bourne, where it remains today. This thoroughly presented history covers both the station from its beginning, its keepers and the Lighthouse Establishment and some of its equipment. Nicely done, worth reading. Thoroughly illustrated with photos and diagrams. (M). $19.95.
