Eldred Rock Light, Coastal lighthouse in Lynn Canal, Alaska
The octagonal structure stands 56 feet tall with a white exterior and features a concrete base, marking an early use of this material in Alaskan lighthouses.
The United States Lighthouse Board initiated construction in 1905, making it the last remaining lighthouse from the original ten built in Alaska during that period.
The Eldred Rock Light remains a symbol of maritime navigation, with its original Fresnel lens now preserved at the Sheldon Museum in Haines.
Located 50 miles north of Juneau, the lighthouse operates automatically since 1973 and can be viewed from boat tours navigating through Lynn Canal.
During a severe storm in the early 1900s, the lighthouse keeper discovered remains from the Clara Nevada shipwreck, which are visible at low tide.
