History
of the Light :
The red, conical steel light tower stands on a round concrete crib at
the end of the Western breakwater. The original lantern room still
houses a sixth order Fresnel lens which can be used as an auxiliary light. There is a modern lantern mounted above the ventilator ball,
which is the active light used. This light creates a lens focal plane at
40 feet above low water datum.
