Cape Spencer Light, Maritime lighthouse in Cross Sound, United States
Cape Spencer Light stands 25 feet tall with white concrete walls, black gallery, and a red roof on an islet at Cross Sound entrance.
The United States Congress allocated 115,000 dollars in 1912 for navigation aids in Alaska, leading to the construction of Cape Spencer Light in 1925.
The structure received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, marking its importance in maritime navigation along Alaska's coastline.
The lighthouse contains a solar-powered VRB-25 Vega optic that guides vessels transitioning between the Outside Passage and Inside Passage waters.
Four lighthouse keepers maintained permanent radio communication and used a crane system to lift supplies due to the surrounding steep cliffs.
