Duluth Harbor North Pier Light
Duluth Harbor North Pier Light, Navigation lighthouse at Duluth Ship Canal, United States
The Duluth Harbor North Pier Light features a cylindrical steel and cast iron tower measuring 11 meters in height at the canal entrance.
The lighthouse began operations in 1910 following the SS Mataafa shipwreck of 1905, which highlighted the need for additional navigational guidance.
The fifth-order Fresnel lens, manufactured in France, served as the original beacon before its relocation to the Lake Superior Marine Museum.
The lighthouse stands at the end of a 520-meter concrete breakwater, providing guidance to vessels entering the Duluth Ship Canal.
The structure transmits a red isophase signal every four seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles across Lake Superior waters.
