Toledo Harbor Light, Historic lighthouse in Lucas County, United States.
The Toledo Harbor Light stands 21 meters tall on Lake Erie, featuring a brick and steel three-story structure with an attached fog signal building.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1901 when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers created an artificial island by sinking a stone-filled crib in Lake Erie.
The lighthouse marks the entrance to Toledo Shipping Channel and represents the maritime heritage of the Great Lakes region through its Romanesque architectural design.
The lighthouse operates on a six-second cycle with equal periods of light and darkness, guiding vessels through the shipping channel with a range of 13 nautical miles.
A mannequin dressed in uniform stands in one of the lighthouse windows, placed there to deter vandalism after the structure became automated in 1965.
