Sentinel Island Light
Sentinel Island Light, Lighthouse in Lynn Canal, United States.
The concrete lighthouse stands 51 feet tall with a square tower and features a white exterior with a red lantern at the northern entrance to Favorite Channel.
Built in 1902, the original wooden structure was replaced in 1935 with a concrete building constructed in modern architectural style for $35,310.
The lighthouse belongs to the Light Stations of the United States collection and carries the heritage designation of National Register of Historic Places since 2002.
The lighthouse operates with a fourth order Fresnel lens at 86 feet focal height, projecting white flashes every 10 seconds visible for 14 nautical miles.
On August 5, 1910, the steamship Princess May ran aground near the lighthouse and remained stranded on rocks for a month before retrieval.
