Butler's Toothpick

Ben Butler’s Toothpick, named after a Civil War general, is a pyramidal-shaped navigational marker dating from the late 19thcentury. It rises at the end of a jetty, which juts into the mouth of the Merrimack River and once provided

warning to boats approaching from the Atlantic Ocean. It is a well-known point

of reference to boaters, known simply as “The Toothpick.”
