Erie Harbor North Pier Light

The Presque Isle North Pierhead Lighthouse, established in 1858, serves as one of three vital lighthouses protecting Erie's natural harbor at Presque Isle Bay in Pennsylvania. Originally constructed to improve navigation in the area, it has undergone numerous enhancements and reconstructions over the years, reflecting its historical significance.

Equipped with a sixth-order Fresnel lens, the lighthouse plays a critical role in guiding vessels safely into the harbor. Its rich history, from the French exploration era to the U.S. Lighthouse Board's modernizations, highlights the lighthouse's enduring legacy in maritime safety and navigation along Lake Erie.
