Green Bay Harbor Entrance Light, Navigation lighthouse in Green Bay, United States.
The white conical steel tower with a cylindrical base stands 72 feet tall and marks the west side entrance to the dredged channel.
The lighthouse construction started in 1934 with a pier foundation, and the structure was officially activated in 1935 with a fourth-order Fresnel lens.
The lighthouse keepers lived within the circular portion of the tower, working in two-week rotating shifts until the automation took place in 1979.
The lighthouse generates an occulting red light with a range of 12 nautical miles and operates a fog signal during the navigation season from April to November.
During a severe storm in December 1943, four stranded keepers ran out of food and required emergency supplies dropped by plane from fifty feet above.
