Craighill Channel Upper Range Rear Light
Craighill Channel Upper Range Rear Light, Navigational lighthouse in Baltimore County, United States
The iron skeleton tower reaches 64 feet in height and contains a wooden shaft covered with corrugated iron to house the lamp and stairway.
The lighthouse construction started in September 1885 and began operations on January 15, 1886, marking the second section of Baltimore harbor shipping channel.
The lighthouse represents maritime navigation engineering from the 19th century, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
The lighthouse displays a fixed red light from a focal height of 74 feet, providing continuous guidance to vessels entering Baltimore Harbor through Craighill Channel.
Four brick piers support the structure, which originally included a six-room keeper's house connected to the light tower by a brick walkway.
