Ashland Harbor Breakwater Light
Ashland Harbor Breakwater Light, Navigational lighthouse in Chequamegon Bay, Wisconsin, United States.
The Ashland Harbor Breakwater Light features a cylindrical watch room atop an octagonal pyramid tower, standing 17 meters high on Lake Superior.
Built in 1915, this concrete structure guided vessels carrying iron ore from the Gogebic Range through the waters of Chequamegon Bay.
The lighthouse earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, marking its role in Great Lakes maritime development.
The lighthouse emits a white flash every six seconds through its solar-powered acrylic plastic lens, visible up to nine nautical miles away.
The structure sits at the end of a 1.5-mile artificial breakwater, protecting ships in the harbor while serving as an active navigation aid.
