Brandywine Shoal Light, Lighthouse in Delaware Bay, Cape May County, US.
The conical lighthouse stands 14 meters tall on a reinforced concrete caisson in the Delaware Bay, marking a critical navigation point for vessels.
The original 1850 structure marked a technological advancement as the first screwpile lighthouse constructed in the United States maritime system.
The lighthouse remains a symbol of maritime heritage, with its original third-order Fresnel lens now displayed at Tuckerton Seaport museum.
Located northwest of Cape May Point, the automated lighthouse continues to guide ships through the Delaware Bay's southernmost navigation channel.
The structure remained the final staffed navigation station on Delaware Bay until its automation in 1974.
