Finns Point Range Light, Iron lighthouse in Pennsville Township, United States
The rear range lighthouse rises 115 feet from its masonry foundation, featuring a skeletal cast iron structure manufactured by Kellogg Bridge Company.
The lighthouse began operations in 1877 as part of a system guiding vessels from Delaware Bay into Delaware River, with construction costs of 1200 dollars.
The structure represents maritime navigation methods of the nineteenth century, with its fourth-order Fresnel lens directing ships through Delaware River channels.
Located within a National Wildlife Refuge, the deactivated lighthouse stands at coordinates 39.6172°N, 75.5342°W, east of Delaware River.
Soldiers transported construction materials from Salem to the site using mules, after components arrived by rail from Buffalo, New York.
