Description
Craighill Channel Upper Range Front (Cutoff Channel Range Front, Fort Howard, North Point)
1886. Active; focal plane 15 ft (4.5 m); continuous red light, day and night. 18 ft (5.5 m) octagonal cylindrical cast iron tower on stone foundation, painted with red and white horizontal bands. Matt Tillett has a closeup photo, Trabas also has a closeup photo, Marinas.com has aerial photos, and Bing has an aerial view. The foundation was built for the former North Point Range Rear Light (established 1823). Keepers actually lived in this tiny lighthouse from 1893 until it was automated in 1929. Located just off North Point in Fort Howard. Accessible only by boat, but there are excellent views from the former Veterans Administration Fort Howard Medical Center, now a retirement community called Bayside at Fort Howard. Site and tower closed. Owner/site manager: U.S. Coast Guard. ARLHS USA-200; Admiralty J2252; USCG 2-8090.
