Bishop and Clerks Light is a lighthouse located in open water on Bishop and Clerks Rocks, about two nautical miles south of Point Gammon in Hyannis, Massachusetts.
The light was established in a granite tower in 1858.[4] It was automated in 1923, deactivated five years later and demolished in 1952.[5][6] The Coast Guard has erected a fiberglass pole on the site with a light on top.
