Highland Lighthouse, Massachusetts, Mechanical Animated Tide Clock
Everything Nautical is proud to present the Highland Lighthouse (MA) Animated Tide Clock. This stunning clock tracks the tide in true nautical fashion. While the dial counts away the hours between tide cycles below, the top is mechanically animated to show the changing sea level in real time. At high tide the water will sit just below the lip of the cliff, and slowly lower to reveal more of the cliff below before beginning to rise again.
The Highland Lighthouse, also known as the Cape Cod Light, was commissioned by George Washington and officially established in 1797 as the twentieth US lighthouse. Originally made of wood and standing 45 feet tall, it was first replaced in 1831 by a brick tower. It was replaced again in 1857 by the current 66-foot lighthouse after the previous was declared dangerous. While the original house was built 500 feet away from the clay cliff's edge, by the 1990s there was only 100 feet remaining and the light was moved back 450 feet across 18 days. It remains an active aid to navigation to this day.
A fun and whimsical addition to any room, this tide clock is hand-crafted right in New England. It works to track the tide anywhere that has two high and low tides per day and will run all year on a single AA battery. Choose from 3 different wooden frame colors (Navy, Black, and Gray), or upgrade to our Deluxe Mahogany Frame for added quality and class.
This functional piece will help turn any space into an ocean-side getaway. It also makes a great gift for the Captain in your life, no matter the occasion!
