Miah Maull Shoal Light
Miah Maull Shoal Light, Offshore lighthouse in Delaware Bay, United States
The cast iron lighthouse rises 14 meters above Delaware Bay, featuring a conical shape with a lantern room and a circular caisson foundation.
The lighthouse began operating in 1913 after a prolonged construction period, marking dangerous shoals along the eastern side of the shipping channel.
The structure bears the name of Nehemiah Maull, a Delaware River pilot who lost his life in 1780 when his ship wrecked on these waters.
Located at coordinates 39.126667, -75.209722, the automated lighthouse continues to guide maritime traffic through Delaware Bay with a modern 500mm beacon.
The lighthouse sold for $90,000 in 2015 after the General Services Administration listed it with a minimum starting bid of $10,000.
