Fishing Battery Light, Integral lighthouse at Battery Island, Havre de Grace, Maryland, US.
The brick lighthouse stands on an artificial island at the mouth of the Susquehanna River, featuring a one-and-a-half story house with a centered lantern.
Congress allocated 5000 dollars for construction in 1851, leading to completion by John Donahoo in 1853 as the final lighthouse he built in Maryland.
The United States Bureau of Fisheries established a fish hatchery on the island in 1880, acquiring the property and implementing substantial improvements.
The lighthouse operates with a steel skeleton tower erected in 1928 behind the original structure, maintaining navigation signals in Chesapeake Bay.
The structure underwent modifications including raising the island grade, requiring extension of the keeper's house walls to match the new elevation.
