Baltimore Harbor Light
Baltimore Harbor Light, Lighthouse in Anne Arundel County, United States.
The Baltimore Harbor Light features an octagonal structure with brick construction and stands at the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay near the Magothy River.
Built in 1908 after a construction period marked by delays due to storms, this lighthouse served as the final beacon constructed on the Chesapeake Bay.
The lighthouse reflects early 20th-century maritime engineering practices through its caisson foundation design and represents the development of coastal navigation infrastructure.
The structure maintains a fifth-order Fresnel lens with a focal height of 52 feet, providing navigational guidance with white light visible for seven nautical miles.
In 1964, this structure became the first lighthouse to operate using nuclear power through a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, though this system lasted only one year.
