Duluth South Breakwater Inner Light
Duluth South Breakwater Inner Light, Lighthouse at the Duluth Ship Canal entrance, Minnesota, US
The 20.5-meter tall brick tower stands at the end of the south breakwater, guiding ships from Lake Superior into the Duluth Ship Canal.
Built in 1889, the lighthouse received recognition through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places for its role in Great Lakes navigation.
The lighthouse forms part of Duluth's maritime heritage, representing the evolution of navigational technology from its early Fresnel lens to modern equipment.
Visitors can access the lighthouse by walking along the south breakwater, starting from the parking area near the Aerial Lift Bridge.
The tower's fourth-order Fresnel lens, which operated until 1995, now resides in the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center for public viewing.
