This lighthouse is located on what used to the the end of the north breakwall. During harbor renovation in the 80s, the pier was extended outward by about 500' and a simple light on a pole exists on the end of the new wall. Plans were made to demolish this light, but the community fought to save it. Now it stands without a light or horn as more of a historical marker.
