Orient Point Lighthouse New York Mechanical Animated Tide Clock
Everything Nautical is proud to present the Orient Point Lighthouse (NY) 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 at the base of the lighthouse, and slowly lower to reveal the riprap breakwall below before beginning to rise again.
The Orient Point Light was originally marked to be constructed in 1855, but the cast-iron tower was not completed until November of 1899 due to many adverse conditions. The following year they began to construct a breakwall, creating a 24 foot wide by 32 foot tall riprap island. The changes in terrain and repairs to rust that needed to be made to the tower ended up tilting it about 5 degrees from vertical. In 1970 it was announced that the sparkplug style lighthouse was to be torn down, but popular sentiment saved it. It is now a private residence. It can be viewed from Orient Point, or, with care of the reefs, approached by private vessels in passing.
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!
