Tidepieces - Chatham Light Cape Cod Massachusetts - Tide Clock NAVY

Handcrafted by local artisan, Alan Winick, this tide clock has the image of Chatham Light and Lighthouse Beach in Chatham, Massachusetts, with a harbor tide that rises and falls as the actual tide in your location goes from high to low. Chatham Lighthouse, known as Twin Lights prior to 1923, is a lighthouse in Chatham, Massachusetts, near the "elbow" of Cape Cod. The original station, close to the shore, was built in 1808 with two wooden towers that were replaced in 1841 in spite of questions as to why a single tower would not be adequate. In 1877, two new towers, made of cast iron rings, replaced those. One of the towers was moved to the Eastham area and became Nauset Light in 1923 Despite the dangerous currents, major drop-offs from sand to sea, and summertime shark sightings, Chatham's Lighthouse Beach is not a swimming beach. In fact, swimming is highly restricted here and sometimes not allowed at all, for just those reasons. However, this enormous and ever-changing beach is perfect for hanging out in a beach chair, watching for seals, and long romantic walks. Tide clock has a navy blue wood frame with dual faced clock. Bottom of clock provides the traditional tide clock showing current tide. Dial provides hours to high tide and to low tide. Top of clock is what makes this time piece truly unique.  A mechanically animated display of the waterline of the Atlantic Ocean rises and falls along Lighthouse Beach as the tide goes from high to low. Clock measures 11-in H x 6-1/2-in W x 2-in D Can be displayed free standing or on a wall. Construction: Wood frame, plastic, paper and metal housing. Uses one AA battery - not included.
