First lit in the year 1931, this storied sentinel has been standing tall at the tip of the south breakwater, guiding ships through the channel for over a century. Standing 21 meters high and perched at an elevation of 176 meters, this iconic square pyramidal steel structure still possesses a unique charisma, having weathered numerous relocations and renovations during its lifetime. The lighthouse even earned a coveted spot under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act in 2008. So, buckle up, armchair explorers, as we journey through history with this remarkable monument.
