"Robbins Reef" by James Venuti

Location: Bayonne, New Jersey

A view of the Robbins Reef Lighthouse in front of the New York Skyline. Robbins Reef Light Station is a sparkplug lighthouse located off Constable Hook in Bayonne, New Jersey, along the west side of Main Channel, Upper New York Bay. The light is located on a small ridge of sand named Robyn's Rift by the Dutch settlers of the area and the reef is now called Robbins Reef. It is situated near the entrance to the Kill van Kull, a strait connecting New York Bay to Newark Bay. In Dutch, rob or robyn means seal, groups of which would sometimes lie on the reef at low tide. The structure is also called Kate's Light for Kate Walker who "manned" the station alone after the death of her husband Captain John Walker in 1886, until 1919.
