❤ Lion's (Faux) Lighthouse For Sight, Long Beach, California 2013

The Lion's Lighthouse for Sight was dedicated on December 2000. The 65 foot metal tower is a symbol of the Lion's fundraiser activities for the visually impaired. Owned by the U. S. Coastguard. The harbormaster's office is at the base of the tower. 2000. Active (privately maintained and unofficial); focal plane 105 ft (32 m); continuous white light. 65 ft (20 m) steel tower with harbor master's office in the base. Lighthouse painted white, gallery black, lantern red. 40% of the funding for the lighthouse was raised by the Long Beach Downtown Lions Club, and the lighthouse is known as the Lions Lighthouse for Sight. The lighthouse was dedicated on 10 December 2000. It's called the Rainbow Lighthouse because it is floodlit at night in varying colors. Located just to the east of the Aquarium of the Pacific on the north side of the entrance to Long Beach harbor and the west side of the small boat basin.

Large Lake Superior waves crash into the shoreline in front of Split Rock Lighthouse in Two Harbors, MN on 5/20/25. This day brought 50+mph winds and 9’+ waves to Minnesota’s north shore and the results did not disappoint!

Pointe aux Barques Lighthouse and Maritime Museum. Huron County, Michigan.

The current structure, built in 1857, is one of the oldest active

lighthouses in the state.

In 1849, Catherine Shook was appointed Michigan’s first female lighthouse keeper for this lighthouse.
