About Deepwater Point Range Front Lighthouse
Deepwater Point Range Front is a skeletal steel tower standing 10 meters tall, first lit in 1876. It is mounted on a square platform and features a gallery. The focal height of the light is 12.5 meters, and its geographic range is 11.2 nautical miles. The light emits a green, isophase signal, meaning it is on and off for equal durations, completing a cycle every 2 seconds. This front range light is situated off the New Jersey shore, likely within the Delaware River or Bay, to guide vessels along a deep shipping channel. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This light serves as the front range marker for a deep shipping channel. Its synchronized signal with a rear light enables mariners to maintain a precise course, facilitating safe passage for commercial vessels.
