Smith Island Light, Historic lighthouse in Island County, United States
The Smith Island Light featured a brick structure with a keeper's house and a centered light tower located near the western edge of Smith Island.
Built in 1858 following New England design principles, the lighthouse operated with lead-acid truck batteries and gasoline generators to maintain its illumination system.
The lighthouse represented maritime navigation advancement in Washington Territory, marking hazards along the Pacific coast for vessels entering local waters.
The current automated navigational light sits on a 50-foot skeletal tower, incorporating a weather station managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The original lantern room remains preserved at Skunk Bay Memorial Lighthouse on Kitsap Peninsula, rescued before coastal erosion claimed the structure in 1998.
