Roe Island Light, Wooden lighthouse in Suisun Bay, California.
The Roe Island Light featured a fixed white light mounted on a wooden structure standing fifteen feet above the high tide level.
Congress allocated 10,000 dollars in 1889 for establishing this navigational aid, which began operating on February 16, 1891.
The lighthouse incorporated specialized lenses manufactured by Sautter & Company in Paris, demonstrating international maritime technology exchange.
The station included additional structures such as an oil house, coal platform, windmill, and pump system for fresh water supply.
The Port Chicago disaster of July 1944 caused substantial damage to the lighthouse, displacing the bell house and cracking several buildings.
