Ohio - Conneaut Breakwater Lighthouse

This lighthouse is located on Fairport Breakwater, marking entrance to the Conneaut River which flows into Lake Erie at Conneaut, OH. The lighthouse was built in 1936 to replace a previous lighthouse built here in 1920. This lighthouse was originally painted white, but later the black band was added to provide a better daymarker for the mariners. At the time of my visit in 2001, this light was active and powered by solar.
