"In Boston, General Benjamin Lincoln directs the placement of cannon around the harbor. A short cannonade convinces the British to weigh anchor, inspiring Lincoln to write "Thus is the port of Boston again opened by our own authority, after being closed during two years vy virtue of an act of the British Parliament."" this is in exact words from this website:

The first American lighthouse was a stone tower built by the colony of Massachusetts and lit for the first time on September 14, 1716, on Little Brewster Island (then called Beacon Island) in Boston Harbor. Unfortunately, this lighthouse doesn't survive; retreating British troops blew it up on June 13, 1776.
