Two Harbors Breakwater Light, Historic lighthouse at Agate Bay, Two Harbors, Minnesota

The Two Harbors Breakwater Light features a square pyramidal skeleton design with white paint and an octagonal lantern at its peak.

The lighthouse construction in 1906 marked a significant improvement from the original 1895 iron post light that guided vessels through Lake Superior.

The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Minnesota's North Shore, documenting the development of iron ore shipping in the Great Lakes region.

Located at the end of an accessible breakwater, the lighthouse emits a red flash every six seconds with a visual range of nine nautical miles.

The structure combines both illumination and fog signal functions, featuring an electric diaphragm horn that replaced the original clockwork-powered bell.

Location: Two Harbors
