Algoma Pierhead Light, Maritime lighthouse in Algoma, Wisconsin, United States.
The red and white steel lighthouse stands 42 feet tall at the end of a pier, marking the entrance to Lake Michigan harbor.
Built in 1893 as range lights and reconstructed in 1908, the lighthouse received a height increase to 42 feet through a steel base addition in 1932.
The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of the Great Lakes region and functions as a symbol of Algoma's connection to Lake Michigan navigation.
Visitors can photograph the lighthouse from the shore or pier, with optimal viewing conditions occurring during morning and evening hours.
The original Fresnel lens from this lighthouse remains preserved at the North Point Lighthouse museum in Milwaukee since its 2019 replacement with LED technology.
