Craighill Channel Lower Range Rear Light, Maritime navigation structure in Baltimore County, United States.

The Craighill Channel Lower Range Rear Light features an iron skeleton tower rising to 105 feet with a central wooden shaft encased in iron plates.

Built in 1873, the lighthouse required a grid of nine stone piers as foundation and underwent significant repairs in 1884 to replace wooden braces with metal ones.

The lighthouse marks the entrance to Baltimore Harbor from Chesapeake Bay, guiding vessels through the channel named after William Price Craighill of the Lighthouse Board.

Located off Ramona Beach near Edgemere, Maryland, the lighthouse maintains a focal height of 105 feet and provides navigation assistance within a range of 16 nautical miles.

This structure stands as the tallest lighthouse in Maryland, utilizing a caisson design that proved resistant to ice floe damage in Chesapeake Bay waters.

Location: Baltimore County
