About Cleveland Waterworks Intake Crib Lighthouse
First lit in 1904, this cylindrical concrete tower stands 17 meters tall and is unpainted. It is located in Lake Erie, about 4 kilometers northwest of the Cleveland harbor entrance, marking the Cleveland Waterworks Intake Crib. A quick-flashing white light is shown from a quadrupod mounting on the roof. The light has a geographic range of 12.4 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors by boat, but the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port is Rocky River, located 5.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The light's primary role is to safeguard Cleveland's water intake crib from vessel collisions, ensuring the protection of this critical infrastructure and maritime safety near the city's harbor.
