This lighthouse is often the forgotten one of the three lights for the Duluth Harbor Canal as it doesn’t sit at the ends of the breakwater where the waves can smash against it and is not a fancy design. But is had an important function since there is only 300 feet between the piers, it could be hard to approach the entrance in poor conditions at the correct angle if this light didn’t sit higher at the inner end of the breakwater from the outer light to serve as a line to make the entry straight through the canal. This steel lighthouse replaced a timber structure and was first lit in 1901.
