Presque Isle Harbor Breakwater Light
Presque Isle Harbor Breakwater Light, Art Deco lighthouse in Marquette, United States.
The Presque Isle Harbor Breakwater Light stands 12 meters tall with an octagonal concrete base and a three-story steel tower at the harbor entrance.
Built in 1941, this navigational structure marked the completion of a 1600-foot breakwater extension project that enhanced the safety of Presque Isle Harbor.
The lighthouse represents the architectural evolution of maritime structures, featuring Streamline Moderne design elements common in transportation buildings of the 1940s.
The lighthouse maintains an active red beacon and fog signal system, guiding iron ore freighters through Lake Superior waters into the Upper Harbor.
The structure contains three storage rooms on the first level, accessed by vertical ship ladders leading to the steel tower and light cupola.
