I really miss the old Brenton Reef Tower (just off the coast of Newport, RI) as well as the Buzzards Bay Tower (roughly 10 miles due south of Horseneck Beach, Westport MA). Brenton Reef Tower was removed and nothing else was put in its place. I have the location marked in my Loran as "Former Brenton Tower". At least they put up another sturcture to replace the Buzzards Bay Tower.

They were great marks for many years of boating through that area. Yes, we always use to refer to them as the Texas Towers.....Gone but not forgotten?
