Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse, DE |
|
|
|
This 76 foot lighthouse marks the southern entrance to the National Harbor of Refuge.
The 1926 cast-iron building sits on top of a solid caisson foundation, enabling the structure
to withstand severe wind and waves. The lighthouse was given a fourth-order Fresnel lens,
which was in use until 1973 when the light was automated. Best view of this lighthouse is
from the Lewes ferry heading to Cape May.
