Erie Harbor North Pier Light - Erie, PA - Coastal Lighthouses on Waymarking.com

Also referred to as the Presque Isle North Pier Light, the Erie Harbor North Pier Light is located at the southeastern tip of Presque Isle State Park. The light is used by mariners as they pass through the the narrow channel between Lake Erie and Presque Isle Bay.

Originally constructed as a wooden tower in 1830, that light was swept away by a schooner in 1857. The current structure was forged in France and assembled on site in Erie. It was moved in 1882 and again in 1940. The United States Coast Guard, which operates the beacon, changed its fixed red beam to an automated red flashing light in 1995, at which time the 4th order Fresnel lens was sent to the Erie Maritime Museum.
