Burlington Breakwater Lights, Twin lighthouses in Burlington Harbor, United States.
Two wooden lighthouse towers mark both ends of a 2500-foot breakwater extending into Lake Champlain to guide maritime navigation.
The original lighthouses, established in 1857, underwent multiple reconstructions until the current structures were completed in 2003 and 2004.
The North and South Lights continue Burlington's maritime heritage as essential navigational beacons for vessels traversing Lake Champlain.
The North Light flashes red every 2.5 seconds with a range of 12 nautical miles, while the South Light emits white flashes every 4 seconds.
Captain James Wakefield performed a rescue mission during severe weather in 1876, saving the crew of the schooner General Butler near these lights.
