Fenwick Island Lighthouse - Coastal Lighthouses on Waymarking.com

At 89 feet in height, the lighthouse cost $23,748.96 to build. The lens that magnifies the light was imported from France. The light originally burned whale oil before switching to kerosene. It was tended by two men who lived with their families in houses on either side of the lighthouse. Today, the light operates automatically by electricity.The Lighthouse is open most days, weather permitting. Visitors are allowed in the base to view a mini-museum and often a volunteer is available to answer questions and give historical information on the Lighthouse. There is also a Salt Pot and a Gift Shop on the premises. Just outside the fence of the Lighthouse, is the Transpeninsular Stone, which is on the DE and MD state line.
