Craighill Channel Lower Range Front Light
Craighill Channel Lower Range Front Light, Navigation lighthouse in Baltimore County, United States.
The Craighill Channel Lower Front Light stands 39 feet tall with a pyramidal iron frame surrounding a wooden structure in Chesapeake Bay.
Built in 1873, this lighthouse marked a significant advancement as the first caisson lighthouse constructed in the Chesapeake Bay under challenging water conditions.
The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Baltimore Harbor, guiding vessels through the Patapsco River entrance for over 150 years.
The structure contains two separate light sources: a fixed beacon above the gallery deck for range guidance and a lantern for general navigation.
The lighthouse operates with a companion rear light station, creating a synchronized system that helps ships determine their position in the channel.
