Seven Foot Knoll Light
Seven Foot Knoll Light, Historical lighthouse at Inner Harbor, Baltimore, United States.
The circular iron structure rises 16 meters above the water, featuring a distinct red-painted exterior and a glass-enclosed lantern room at its summit.
Built in 1856, this screwpile lighthouse marked the entrance to the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay until its relocation to Pier 5 in Baltimore in 1988.
The lighthouse represents maritime innovation through its iron construction method, marking a departure from traditional wooden lighthouse designs of the nineteenth century.
The Maritime Museum offers guided tours of the lighthouse from Tuesday through Sunday, with parking available at nearby Inner Harbor garages.
Keeper Thomas Steinhise performed a notable rescue in 1933, saving the crew of a sinking tugboat during severe weather conditions.
