Five Finger Islands Light
Five Finger Islands Light, Maritime lighthouse in Petersburg Borough, Alaska, United States
The Five Finger Islands Light features a white concrete tower rising 68 feet with a lantern room positioned at 81 feet above water level.
The United States Lighthouse Service established this navigational structure in 1902, replacing the original building with a concrete design after a fire in 1933.
The lighthouse stands as a testament to early 20th century maritime navigation, representing one of the first government lighthouses constructed in Alaska.
The automated beacon operates with a characteristic white flash every 10 seconds, providing guidance to vessels navigating the waters between Stephens Passage and Frederick Sound.
From the helicopter landing pad, visitors observe eagles nesting near the structure while whales frequent the surrounding waters during summer months.
