点评:The Three Sisters of Nauset are a trio of historic lighthouses off Cable Road in Eastham, built in 1838. Built 150 feet apart in a straight line along the crest of the cliffs, they were brick, 15 feet tall, and 9 feet wide at the lantern deck. Each was painted white with black lantern decks, which lent to their looking like three ladies with white dresses and black bonnets – the birth of the name “Three Sisters.” The original three brick towers fell into the sea due to erosion in 1890 and were replaced with wooden towers on brick foundations in 1892. The Sisters were decommissioned in 1911. In 1983, the National Park Service moved the Three Sisters 1,800 feet west of Nauset Light, lined up in their original configuration. The Three Sisters Lights are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A quiet well-kept place to visit these distinctive lighthouses.
翻译:瑙塞特三姐妹灯塔是位于伊斯特姆缆车路附近的三座历史悠久的灯塔,建于1838年。它们沿悬崖顶呈直线排列,彼此相距150英尺,均为砖砌结构,高15英尺,灯笼甲板宽9英尺。每座灯塔都漆成白色,灯笼甲板为黑色,因此看起来像三位身着白裙、头戴黑帽的女士——“三姐妹”之名由此而来。最初的三座砖塔于1890年因侵蚀而倒塌入海,并于1892年被建在砖砌地基上的木塔所取代。三姐妹灯塔于1911年停止使用。1983年,国家公园管理局将三姐妹灯塔向西迁移了1800英尺,使其恢复了最初的排列方式。三姐妹灯塔已被列入国家史迹名录。这里环境清幽,保存完好,是参观这些独特灯塔的理想之地。
