Erie Harbor North Pier Light, Navigational lighthouse on Lake Erie in Pennsylvania, United States
The white tower with black bands stands 34 feet tall at the end of the north pier, guiding vessels into Presque Isle Bay.
Built in 1858 after a schooner destroyed the original wooden structure, the lighthouse features wrought iron and steel materials forged in France.
The Erie Indians spoke of Manitou, the Great Spirit, who created Presque Isle as a protective arm to shield the tribe from lake storms.
The lighthouse operates with an automated red flashing light powered by solar panels, marking the narrow entrance channel between Lake Erie and Presque Isle Bay.
The square pyramidal design of this lighthouse represents the last remaining example of this architectural style among United States lighthouses.
