Description
Salem's Derby wharf lighthouse flooded at an abnormally high tide. When the moon reaches its full phase, the tides can also be at their highest. Derby Wharf light at the end of Derby wharf gives guidance to ship pilots coming back into Salem Harbor. With global warming contributing to the high tide the lighthouse as it's seen here is nearly underwater. The full moon is also happening during this time and if there was a storm you would see it easily cresting the wharf and crashing over the lighthouse itself.
