A rising autumn sun warmly caresses the Algoma Lighthouse. As you know, this is one of my favorite photographic subjects. Located at the harbor entrance to Algoma, WI, most folks refer to it as the Algoma Lighthouse. It’s also called the Algoma Pier Light or the Algoma Pierhead Lighthouse. I don’t know that you could consider it a true “lighthouse,” as it is not a habitable structure. It is listed by the United States Coast Guard as “Algoma Light;” number 20975 on their light lists.
Here’s a little history and other details found on Wikepedia…
The lighthouse was first established in 1893 as a set of range lights. It was rebuilt in 1908 at which time it was a conical tower built of 5/16 inch steel plate, 8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter at the base and 7 feet (2.1 m) in diameter at the parapet. It stood 26 feet (7.9 m) high. In 1932 it was modified again and the entire structure was raised to a height of 42 feet (13 m) by placing the older tower on a new steel base 12 feet (3.7 m) in diameter. The original lens has been replaced by a plastic lens.
