Lighthouse at Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
After the third Eddystone Lighthouse, designed by John Smeaton, was replaced in 1882 due to the undermining of its foundation rock, its upper portion was dismantled and rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe, where it remains as a monument. The lower portion, or stump, of the original masonry tower can still be seen on the Eddystone Rocks.1
