Lighthouses of the world

Harbor of Refuge, Lewes Delaware!

If you ever get to Cruise the inside passage..look for Five Finger Lighthouse…first and last manned lighthouse in SE Alaska!

Yaquina Bay Lighthouse in Newport, Oregon operated for only three years (1871–1874), giving it the shortest service life of any lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. It became obsolete almost immediately after the taller, more powerful Yaquina Head Lighthouse opened just a few miles north in 1873. Once that beacon went active, Yaquina Bay’s light was extinguished and the station abandoned. One of its most distinctive features is its rare integrated design, where the tower rises directly from the keeper’s house — a compact, economical style suited for a small harbor entrance light rather than a major coastal beacon. I enjoyed this lighthouse when we stopped there as it was very well kept and it was open for visitors. It was well furnished and featured many furnishings of the period.

Heceta Head Lighthouse, near Florence, Oregon, is a historic, working lighthouse known as the brightest on the Oregon Coast, with a beam visible for 21 miles. Built in 1894, it's part of a scenic state park with trails, a beach, and the former Assistant Keeper's House, which operates the lighthouse.

The most scenic lighthouse I have ever seen.

North Point lighthouse in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is my favorite that I was able to climb.The lighthouse has a great view of Milwaukee, Milwaukee harbor and Lake Michigan.
The North Point Lighthouse in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a historic maritime landmark in Lake Park, marking the entrance to the Milwaukee River. Originally built in 1855, the current structure dates to 1888 and features a 74-foot tower and a Queen Anne-style keeper's quarters, serving as a museum with exhibits on Great Lakes maritime history. It is open for tours on weekends, offering views from the tower and a chance to explore the museum and grounds.
